ABOUT ME

I lived in London for about 11 months for studying and in Chennai for 5 months for my past work. I’m currently working for a tech company from the US as a Business Analyst for internal systems.

I really loved to play football (soccer) and share ideas with others who grew up in different cultures, which breaks fixed ideas from Japanese conventions.

After I went to London, I got to remember that I really like nature. I quite liked Richmond Park and Hampstead Heath. Having expected a mega metropolitan city, I realised London still keeps some nature. I appreciate it.

Then I went to Galapagos islands and Andaman islands, and I lived in Okinawa to follow my love in nature and scuba diving.

PHILOSOPHY

Try out new experiences. Go outdoor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I meet people, or people meet me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed on a net of friends while I was travelling around Europe in 2013. That was my fundamental experience of travel. After that, I hosted some travellers in my small flat in Tokyo and was hosted in Brazil and Mexico in 2014. I truly appreciate interaction with people I met and their kindness.
