Hey, I’m Motoki from Japan.
I’ve walked over 10,000 kilometers from Vietnam all the way to Paris, pulling a handmade rickshaw. I’ve been crossing countries on foot to meet people, hear real stories, and discover the world without filters.

I’m a kimono-magician, a YouTuber sharing raw voices from the road, and a lover of deep conversation over simple meals.

In the past, I’ve worked in everything from Japanese nightlife to olive farms in Spain. I believe that every encounter has meaning, and that kindness and curiosity can open any door.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with locals, not just pass through cities.
I believe that a night on your couch can teach me more than a week in a hotel.
Also, I’d love to share stories, cook Japanese food, and show you some magic if you’d like!

My Philosophy

The road gives you what you need, not what you want.
Walk slow, stay curious, and always thank the people who open their door.
