【If you request to stay, Please read "My Home" section!】

Hi, my name is Kiyo.
I’m a Japanese male, currently living in Gent, Belgium.
I am quite open-minded and friendly guy.
Also, people tell me that I am very clean and tidy (Trying to keep up with the image of Japan ;)

This year 2025, I am traveling from Belgium to France, Germany and around.

I worked as a sushi chef in Belgium and USA, so I often cook at people's house (if you like :).

I am also into Japanese calligraphy, so I can write your name with Japanese brush pen, upon your request :)

I'd like to meet new people, and discover more!

Thanks for reading my profile, I'm looking forward to meeting you soon! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I stay at my home in Belgium, I would love to host, as I've been so lucky and welcomed by like-minded hosts all over the world! :) This is my way to pay forward.

Of course, I love meeting cool new people, and have a great discussion.

I also love cooking and nice food. I often cook at people's houses too (I'm a former chef).
