flowers, trees,architectures as much as possible, and experience many things while I am breathing in this world. Life is short, be happy:)

PHILOSOPHY

I can say many things but what I have written on "all about me" is my fundamental philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In New York, my roommate were hosting his couch to several couch surfers. This is how I know this wonderful network.
When I came back to Nagasaki, I started to be a member, met some travelers, showing them around my city and/or being Japanese-English translators,took some to my friend's bar.
Now, I am couch surfing all over Australia:) and it has been just a beautiful experience.

MOVIES, of course, too many to lists. Love Miyazaki, Iwai, Besson,Sofia, Chisrtoper... old hollywood and french, non-fiction and fictions. I am a film bug, volunteered to be a staff of some film festivals include Tribeca Film Festival in New York. And my work is somewhat related to it.

Books, yes, another big lists. I tend to read more educational books, someone's real life or non-fiction so I can learn something about the life on earth. I also enjoy fiction and dream about the fiction world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are full of amazing things;traveling over the US by Amtrak, being washed by sunlight in Sedna, trekking to find a secret Hot Spring in California,
bathing hot springs all over japan in the nature such as by the river, in the forest, by the ocean...

listening Yoko Ono's speech for nuclear abolition at the UN, filming homeless children to learn how to express themselves with shining smile, singing and dancing with them,

helped hosting governors, journalists, travel specialists, filmmakers all over the world to introduce the message of Nagasaki,

meeting many people from all over the world:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to exchange languages and culture:)
and would like to learn about your life, your philosophy, your dreams and interests.
If you could teach me naturopathy, music installments, art, gardening, cooking, or anything, it would be wonderful. as I said, always keen to learn new things.

I can teach/guide about Nagasaki which can tell you one of the way for
the cross-cultural communication and for the world peace. I learned it
from Nagasaki's unique history and at the United Nations.
I also learned some yoga, thai massage, chinese and Japanese massage.
