My name is KENTA.

I am managing an English education related company in Japan.

My hobby is traveling and sports.
In the past I met various locals in various countries, played together, traveled, drunk, deepened interaction.

I think that you will know culture in a true sense by doing so.
I am grateful to all the people I have met so far.

I think that connecting and exchanging with local people in that country is the most effective way to know the culture of that country.
You can get strong stimulation by leaving your everyday life, culture, and becoming familiar with the land you visited.
I believe that life will change to more fulfilling by doing so.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One reason is because I wanted travelers to know the deep culture of Japan.
When I visited other countries in the past, I got the locals to be very friendly and I took them to various places. As a result, we experienced experiences that ordinary travelers can not experience. And I was able to know the culture of the country deeply.

Another reason is that I think that I can connect with people all over the world by becoming a host by myself. Since I have only one life, I'd like to meet more people in more countries..

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite writer is Shiba Ryotaro.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I traveled to Vietnam, I went to see a local school for my friend's connection.
At that time, I think I was able to know how people living in the local people day by day.
It is a thing that can not be experienced with ordinary trips, so it became valuable memories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know plenty of local spots in Tokyo.
We can introduce places where ordinary travelers will not go.
