Hi, I’m Taichi from Japan. I’m really excited to meet people from all over the world. Lately, I’ve been passionate about filmmaking. I studied documentary filmmaking in London and have made a few very-indie-style documentaries—in the UK, and in a refugee camp in Kenya.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Culture exchanges! I truly believe that the most rewarding part of traveling is connecting with locals and immersing myself in their culture.
