CURRENT MISSION

I guess I'll know what my mission's been when I've completed it :)

PHILOSOPHY

'Do unto others', in one form or another, has suited me fine so far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've got a very flexible work schedule, 2 bicycles and a group of fun-loving friends!

Although my living arrangements make offering a couch/floorspace difficult I'd certainly like to help folks visiting Tokyo find what they're looking for, and maybe some things they didn't know they were looking for ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've spent time on sofas in many parts of Japan, San Diego, CA and Washington DC.

When I find the time/means, I find myself in a tent and/or sleeping bag as opposed to on a sofa.
