About Me

ABOUT ME

I'd love to meet new people and experience my life.
The world looks different when we explore it ourselves.

I was born and raised up in Saitama, Japan.
I graduated from University of North Texas with Bachelor of Business degree in the United States in 2014.
I'd traveled around the world for 150 days in taking advantage of a gap year before start working in Japan (Oct 2014- Jan 2015).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to see local people and enjoy talking with them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had met a Norwegian guy at the train from Munich to Copenhagen. He let me stay at his place for two nights. I had a great time with them. I cooked Japanese curry for him and his girlfriend to show my appreciation.

Interests

I like playing soccer. Since I was a little kid, I have been playing soccer.
Playing soccer(or any sports) is one of the best ways to make friends even if you don't know their languages.
I had played soccer with local people whenever I found anyone playing soccer while I was traveling in the world.
