I'm Rieko from Japan. Although I'm rational and sometimes nihilistic in my mind, and therefore cold, somehow in the real life, which involves the communication in person, I happen to be emotional and humanistic. Human being is a controversial mind and I suppose I'm a living proof... :p

PS Since I've been busy these days, I might not reply in time. I'm sorry about that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For a philosophical and anthropological reason.

Interests

I have a big passion in understanding other cultures and different perspectives people may have. This may sound that I'm more interested in people's mindset, but of course I do love to discover all the material stuff like beautiful scenary and buildings etc.

• culture
• history

Music, Movies, and Books

Any music. I appreciate opera and other classic music a lot but I also love new and old music in night clubs. I like classic japanese literature. And any films except horror movies

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was little, I lived in Italy and all my life started there. Italian people were very kind to me and this is why I continuously go back there.
