CURRENT MISSION

To stay on the positive side of the coin

ABOUT ME

I see myself as a fairly introverted person, which might be off-putting to some people, as I'm generally not very talkative, but get me involved in an interesting topic or discussion and I won't shut up! Some alcohol also helps as a social lubricant...

PHILOSOPHY

Not sure I have one - it's more of a collection of moral principles and ideas gathered through family, friends, school, media and all other sources I've interacted with, and as such it's constantly changing...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not certain weather I would be able to host, simply due to the small size of my apartment, save for allowing somebody to stay overnight( either on the floor, or if that's not Your thing - the bed, and I could take the floor).
Otherwise I'd like to meet new people coming and going through Kyoto!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far... looking to change that!

Interests

I've a few hobbies - drawing, playing bass, Karate, neither of which unfortunately I don't get to do as much as I'd like to because of time restraints.
I also find myself to be a rather competitive person, so activities such as bowling, billiards, chess and other games, or even karaoke are something I like to partake in very much.

• chess
• billiards
• drawing
• karaoke
• bowling
• communications

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer movies and series that are either spectacularly well written( e.g. any Tarantino movie, Firefly) or that are just generally funny and don't take themselves too seriously( e.g. Machette, Community, Office Space)

Mostly some good old rock'n'roll( Creedence Clearwater Revival, The White Stripes, Red Hot Chili Peppers), but lately also some orchestral music, jazz and bossa nova.

As for books - unfortunately I haven't had the time to site down and read any book other than a text for a while now.
