My English nick name I got when I was in my 20s-30s is Prince Charming Charlie. How I got it is a relatively long story and I'd like tell you about it later when I meet you. I believe that my family is the source of my energy in life. My wife is currently working as a financial planner and my son and daughter, both of whom are university students, are source of my happiness. I am sure that my friends also make my life meaningful. I retired early as a high school teacher in order to take "the Road Not Taken". I love travelling and enjoy meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know what travelling means in life. So, I love the people who love travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This year the high school that I had graduated from celebrated its 50th anniversary of school foundation. My old high school means a lot to me. I visited the school in spring and planted seeds and grew three kinds of flowers on all the flower beds and space around the school. I very often visited the school to remove the weeds and to look after the flowers. Hundreds of thousands of flowers began to bloom colorfully in July and the flower blossoms continued to wither and bloom until November. The students, teachers and visitors had been in the gardens of flowers for about 5 months. The 50th anniversary celebration event was also held in the world of flowers. I did it all by myself.
