Always love hooking up with locals to learn more about them and to get a taste of what it's like to live in the shoes of natives. Locals have the best knowledge of cities/regions and hopefully guide or suggest the best spots to eat, party, sightsee etc. I'm a pretty social guy especially when it comes to spending time with people from far flung places, coach surfing is a great opportunity to meet interesting locals with ideas and views I can engage and share with.

Karaoke with 'sararimen' in Tokyo is one of the most amazing and memorable experiences I had in Japan.
