Yunosuke Maeda
I love to travel and hangout with the local people.

My typical way of traveling is hitchhiking and camping with a theme. I’ve done it in Japan, Canada, the US, and West Europe.
This time is in east and South Europe and I’ll be traveling from Helsinki to Spain for whole July. I know it’s gonna be f**cking hot to camp and hike around in this season, but I’d like to visit as many cities and locals as possible and compare it around Europe. I was born and raised in Japan so I don’t know anything about European manners, culture, what’s fun and where to go in your city. It’d be great if you could teach me about them.

In my travel, I’ve been camping and Couchsurfing to stay for the nights. Mostly I put a tent somewhere quiet. I’m very enjoying meeting new people and strangers. Hitchhiking is also one of the way to meet new people.
But I think this Couchsurfing is the best way to know and connect with people in this world. “Friends who haven’t met yet “

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m very enjoying meeting new people and strangers and experience what local people do in the town. I think this Couchsurfing is the best way to know and connect people in this world.

Interests

I’m an active person, so I can help your house chores and I can be your partner for your activity.
I prefer both outdoor activities and indoor activities.
I like hiking, biking, climbing, and hunting. (I had also bicycled across Japan.)
I also like watching movies, and listening to music but reading.
The most favourite thing is to do nothing in the beautiful nature.
