I’m INTROVERT but I’m not SHY.
I’m SILENT but I’m not PASSIVE.
I’m not TALKATIVE but I’m a perfect LISTENER.
I’m not a SPEAK-er but I’m a DO-er.
I’m not shining BRIGHT but you’ll see me shining DAY or NIGHT.
No matter how many OBSTACLES ahead, I’ll keep moving straight towards my GOALS.

It sounds like advertising, heh? But I find these words describe most about me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love Japan and I had a 15-day solo travel in this awesome country in April 2015. That's why I started Couchsurfing.

I want to enjoy local life leisurely, to know where locals eat, go shopping and have fun. But the most important thing is to hear their stories and to share my own.
