About Me

Offering free food for TRAVELERS - Welcome to Japan.
Available:
Wednesday: 7PM

I love the idea that this site supports. People from all ages and backgrounds meeting under circumstances that have truly never been possible in past times. The power to meet and connect with total strangers is literally at our fingertips which is super exciting to me, and I want to be a part of it!

CURRENT MISSION -

On Meetup - Nagoya Tea and Travel Lovers

NAGOYA ! - http://www.facebook.com/bip.nagoya

ABOUT ME

10 years in Japan , 20 years in Australia.
A lifetime around the world.

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens because Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. nobody ever said that it would be easy; they just promised it would be worth it.
I organize events, for Japanese and foreigners!
If you are coming to Nagoya, check out the events and parties here -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just introduced a lot of people to the website.
Staying at a big hostel is just like cs-ing as a group, and those who stay there are couch surfers, even if they don't know it yet.
The guy who cycled 3500 km.
The couple who travelled 15 days by train.
Share the stories, make the world smaller couch by couch.

If you are coming to NAGOYA, welcome! Share your story with us.

Amazing Things You've Seen or Done
Pick two or three moments that left you awestruck. What were they?

Every moment of being alive.

I'm not easily awestruck.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you know something I don't - share, and vice versa - the best travel advice comes through experience.
If you don't ask, you won't know.
