About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be active, be honest, be brave, feel anything and do something

ABOUT ME

I like hearing story people couldn't help telling me themselves.
I am always a person of many interests,
usually concentrating on one interest,
often burning for the right,
sometimes floating myself with the current.

PHILOSOPHY

'Every step is a step into the future' -John Fleming-
'Vouloir est pouvoir'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

There are a lot of 'good' things in this space-world.
If I just wanted to talk proudly at home, I sould just visit specific place follow guidbook by myself. But I would like to respect the 'alive' things what people feel, think about, and live there. To compare with my image I gain experience and be more gentle.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At my friend house in Osaka I have spent time with CSers for the first time. My friend house is very old-(style) in Japan. Even we walk in the room, the floor is like a spring mattress. Also we can hear snoring of a neighbor through thin wall. But they didn't never mind and enjoyed that surrounding enough. I was surprised at human flexibility.
