Hi world, one very optimistic guy is here. I'm Kazutoshi who loves to meet new people from the different cultures, go somewhere by bicycle with no purpose. I live with my partner Lief.

When you send me a couch request, please write me why you’d like to stay with me and send a personalized message to me, not a copy and paste message. Sending a copy/paste request to me results in getting declined with a copy/paste message.

Lief and I have spent the last two years working in Australia and New Zealand. Lief worked as an engineer and I worked in hospitality. We love to travel with no plans and to be open to the adventure that awaits us.

I am from Kushiro, Hokkaido, Japan and moved to Vancouver, Canada to be close to my partner. Due to Covid, I returned to Japan until we moved to Australia.
Lief is 32 and was born in Exeter, New Hampshire USA working as a civil engineer. He moved to Seattle where he worked until moving to Australia.

We want to experience the country and its culture, not take photos for social media.
Now we are residents of New Zealand.

Ég tala ekki íslensku en ég setti hana sem tungumálið sem ég tala reiprennandi því ég naut þess að vera á Íslandi og þar hitti ég margt gott fólk. Þú ert heppinn ef þú síar gestgjafa með talað tungumál og finnur mig með íslensku máli. Þú hefur meiri möguleika á að vera hýst hjá mér.
日本人の方もぜひリクエストどうぞ〜。スケジュール次第ですけど、できる範囲で案内しますよ。

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

We enjoy meeting new people and visiting new places.

We prefer to travel slowly and experience every day life rather than visit a tourist site.

Also we want to meet travelers who have had great experiences. Let's share our experiences.

兴趣

I love playing a board game! Since I live with only my partner, I rarely play board games with only him. The more players we have the more likely it is that we have fun playing them.
You are welcome to bring your favorite board game or card game to play with us when we have free time🎴

I also like traveling, trekking, riding bicycle, learning foreign languages and listening to music.
I love to do something new. Whatever!!

音乐、电影和书籍

We love anything from Studio Ghibli and some of all time favorites are The Devil Wears Prada, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and The Breakfast Club

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I don't know I've done something amazing. But some of good experiences of mine are a hitchhiking trip from the north to the south of Japan and another hitchhiking trip from Spain to Romania.
I saw many great views of Japan and Europe. You can ask me where in Japan and Europe to visit!
