I’m Taiki, your local Capybara; at least that’s what my girlfriend would call me. With the reference i have now, I’m actually not that new to Couch surfing. I have hosted some people through my gf’s account; https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2019157765?utm_campaign=profile_share&utm_source=couchsurfing-ios

I decided to create my own since i’ll be traveling more often lately with her in Europe and the UK this May and July. Super excited to meet people in different places😄

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As of the work i did in a hostel in Japan. It sparked my passion to connecting with people from diverse nationalities, religions, genders, and cultures. To understand the world and a little bit more and to come out of my introvert exoskeleton.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to literally anything, from Bach to Tool to Aphex Twin. I do enjoy range variations of films too and reading too, perhaps we have to talk in person to be able to share more😄

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An opportunity volunteering at one of the hostel in Yunomine Onsen, one of the coziest little hot spring village in the valley of Kii peninsula in Wakayama prefecture. I met so many hiking travelers, shared so many nice conversations with them and eventually became friends with many loce, bathed in a 1,800 years old bath, hiked alone in an ancient pilgrimage trails and connect with myself and the nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach/coach tennis in Thailand, so if we have a chance let’s hit some balls together. I do have big interest in cuisine and wine as well, so it would be nice to share this little interest to each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some fun knowledge about Japanese wine, tennis, funny stories and philosophical discussions with people. I love art too, so I’m happy to share ideas and experiences with you. Apart from that, I do offer positivity and comforting energy to you as well. I can offer some massage as well, if any stiffness is in presence.
