ABOUT ME

Hello I'm Japanese, 32 years old now living in Shanghai. Had been traveling around the world for 2 years, then worked in SF and Shanghai. During my stay in over 60 countries, people treated me so well no matter if I didn't speak their local languages, or didn't know anything about their culture. So now it's my turn to do something for travelers, I'm happy to treat you! :)

I can't couch anybody at the moment, but I'm happy to hang out and have a beer (or coffee, if you don't drink). I also have lots of friends who are interested in talking with travelers, so they might be able to join as well.
