I was born and raised in Shimane prefecture, Japan. When I was 17, I started to go to high school in Canada.

I lived in Canada, mostly Vancouver, for about 12 years and moved back to Japan for good last year.

I'm easy-going, friendly and natural with others. I consider myself as a good listener.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I came back to Shimane, I haven't got a single chance to speak English, so I wanna make some English-speaking friends nearby. I learned this website, Couchsurfing, only a couple of days ago.

Interests

I'm really into music. I like both listening to music at home and going to see a live show. I also like clubbing. When I lived in Vancouver, I sometimes played bass. I wanna get one in Japan someday.

This year, I think I got back my itch for movies. I wasn't so keen on movies for many recent years but I started to watch them more aggressively this year.

Other than music and movies, I really like trying many kinds of restaurants, bars and cafes, so I often search them online for next visit.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a native speaker of Japanese, I can probably help you guys with natural Japanese expressions.

Japanese is a hell of a complex language. That's for sure!
