I'm visiting Africa now as the first time in my life:)

I grown up in Tokyo and Kanagawa (the next city to Tokyo).

I like strolling in the city much more than going to tourist spots so I can see and feel daily lives in different places. I love to experience local and traditional life wherever I visit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people gives me tons of information and makes me think a lot about world and different people and culture. I love to know and experience traditional/local cultures and people all over the world.

Interests

I love to see local stores and people on random streets.

I love trying local food and drinks.
Well, beer is not necessary during my travel. If you like to drink, I'm always happy to join:)

I love music, especially playing classical music. I play the clarinet in the orchestra for fun and am learning how to play the cello as well. I was playing the piano, french horn, bass guitar, etc..
I'd love to experience traditional music where I'm traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Homestaying (staying with family) is always amazing. In Turkmenistan (one of the difficult county to travel for backpackers), I hitchhiked a car and was invited to their family. The kids and I went out to the amusement park and the museum together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some travel stories and pictures. Last year I traveled in south America for a couple of months.
