CURRENT MISSION

Host enough so I can surf too!

ABOUT ME

I'm not witty enough to write anything here.

PHILOSOPHY

It's all Canada's fault.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people who backpack/couchsurf across Japan. Japan is expensive, I'm hoping by saving some people money here, the favor can be returned elsewhere.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only hosted, but so far each time has been rather fun. I'm really busy, so I usually just try to provide a friendly/free place to crash and all the information I can to anyone who comes.

Interests

I like to take crummy photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/meijimike/

I have a big interest in China (language/culture/etc)...yes, I live in Japan. I got lost.

Scuba diving, hiking, backpacking (in the woods), surfing, swimming, tropical beaches, hookah, politics, current events, photography, writing, running, drinking...in Japan lots of drinking.
