PLEASE SEND ME MESSAGES AFTER YOU READ MY PROFILE.
It’s actually very easy to tell whether you text the message for me or just copy and paste the same message and send it to random hosts 😸☝️

I’ve just restarted hosting on Couchsurfing after I moved to Tokyo and came to live alone, and also after Japan opened the boarder as COVID-19 became something we should live with and should not be insanely afraid of.

I often change my status between Accepting guests and Not accepting guests. So if you find me not accepting guests, give another try a week later.
It depends on how many guests I know are coming.

Some guests gave me a magnet representing their country for my fridge. Now I feel like collecting them 😂 you don’t need to at all, but if you bring one…. I’d be very glad 😉

I learn Spanish, which led me to be with a Spanish girl as my partner. So I feel quite familiar to Spanish language and culture, also to the South American. I’d be happy if you help me with my Spanish. As a couple, I feel we are too much dependent on English 😅
But we are not living together, so you’ll share my place only with me.

If you’re reading this as a guest looking for a place to stay, if you speak Chinese, it’d be a big plus. I need chance to try my Chinese.
如果你中文说得很好的话，或者你是中国人，台湾人，香港人的话，我更高高兴兴地给你在我这儿住宿👍

I have mainly studied linguistics, philosophy and anthropology in university, but now happened to work as a software engineer😹
My English is okay, so don’t worry about our communication if you speak English. I learned Chinese and Spanish, they are still poor, but we can make simple communications though the languages too.

I love any languages from Icelandic to Mongolian. Languages reflect the cultures and how people think a lot! Share what you think is interesting about your native language 😊

When I have time, I read books and mangas, sometimes watch anime, cook for myself everyday , write random staff like stories and essays, play the guitar, go cycling and chill in cafes.
If we have the same interests, I’ll be glad.

I like to know and experience new things, to think about them, and to exchange ideas with the others.

P.S.
I bought Mario Kart for Switch to play with my guest even though I personally don’t play it alone. So if you wanna play it with me, please suggest it so that I can feel I paid for the right thing 🚗💨💥

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started to use Coushsurfing to meet locals and to save expenses at the same time.
But after some experiences here I found it's a great platform to meet interesting people and see their lives. Recently I often prepare extra budgets but still choose to use Couchsurfing😉
Hosting gives me so much fun too. When I hosted people in my parent house, my mom and dad got excited so much and came to love such meetings 🤣
