Hello guys!! My name is Shogo from Japan. I am 24years old. I graduated from university last year. My major of the university was International Study. I learned a lot of things around the world, like people live in poor countries and the cultures, economy in developed countries and so on.

And this study triggered me to travel, and see the world with my eyes. Now I travel around the world while doing volunteer work at anywhere I go :) recently I'm looking for someone to exchange our culture, and someone who can be my friend :)

I want to insist on something. I am soooo happy if someone could host me. Its very fantastic if people could connect beyond the border, religion, the difference of the color of skin. So I'm definitely sure that I will host you, when you plan to come Japan. And I will guide you :)

Thank you for reading my profile:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because unfortunately I don't have money to keep my travel. I hope you could host me, and give me a place to sleep.

And also it is great opportunity to meet people from the around the world. Japan is the country rounded by ocean. So we don't have enough chances to meet people from other countries. Life is once and short. I'm excited to meet you :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have experienced very wonderful period in the place which is like Buddhism temple in Thailand. It is located in the deep of mountain and far away from the city. I had concentrated on "meditation" there.

A Buddhism priest was in charge of the holly place, and he taught me how to spend the lest of life peacefully and with full of love and thankful throughout his meditation lesson.

It was absolutely incredible!!
I could feel the "life" in every seconds by hearing the sounds of softy wind, the voices of birds, the sounds of beating heart. I was able to be thankful for the life because everything is the gift from whole universe.

I will never forget this experience, and I want to share it, if you want :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Japanese language, culture, sport (sumo), and origami( make something from a sheet of paper)

I want to learn the culture of your country. Hopefully I want to exchange our point of view in many categories, which are like economy, environment, war, tradition and other :)
