About Me

I'm working at bakery as an apprentice in Freiburg, Germany now. I love to travel around the world and experience a local lives. So I have lived in south Israel where was in the middle of desert and Stirling, Scotland as a co-worker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When it comes to travel, Meeting local people is coming up to my mind first. It is precious experience for me not to visit sites but also communicate with the local people. It bring various aspects of understandings of other cultures to me. Even though package tours are very easy and convenient for those who prefer not to miss major site-seeing spots, I firmly believe that spending time with people, through chatting, eating local foods and drinking is much much more fun and impressive for me.

Interests

I'm curios about the way of thinking and common sense of foreigners. Even among my country, We have full of diversity.
I am also curious about food culture. I think that food is the fundamental of culture. It is made up from its land, climate, religion, and history. I always enjoy the differences between us and try to learn how to cook their local food.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to listen to rock and classical music. Especially " Green Day and LinkinPark" and regarding classical music, classical and impressionist period are my favorite.
Of course, I love to watch movies and reading books, for example, Haruki Murakami.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started running 3 years ago for fitness. I was not eager to run. I thought it was a bit boring. However, I was wrong. It turned into quite fun and rewardful for me.
Last year, during my stay in Scotland, I participated in a half marathon in Glasgow and finished in 1 hour and 46 minutes. It was my first try. So I was proud of myself so much!
