I'm a shy but outgoing engineer, currently on a mission to find a nice place to live for the next few years :)

I grew up in rural Japan then moved to Vancouver, Canada where I completed my studies. I worked for 3 years on self-driving cars before quitting to travel the world. Which is what I'm up to today.

Always positive and open minded, my favorite thing about life is meeting new people and gaining new perspectives. I also love nature, books, good food and unplanned adventures.

I also enjoy fixing things, so if you have something that is broken maybe I can help :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and travel, as much as I can.

After working for a few years as an engineer, I began to wonder if that was the best way I can spend the short time I have on earth.

I'm now traveling, being inspired by the people I cross paths with, having a good time, and sometimes receiving the nice feeling that I have helped someone too.
