About Me

[NOTE]
If you look for free accommodation, this isn’t the place.
If you want to meet locals, this is the place.

[PROFILE]
I'm Ken, born in Kobe, living on Earth, Japanese.
Fun, Unusual and Crazy is Ken.

My Travel:
World Odyssey: 23 Laps Round The World
I am just traveling Round The World 23 laps. This is 9th round. Travel with Work, Study, Play & Love is my challenge.

My Job: I am Agent, Blogger, Creator, Designer, Entrepreneur, Filmmaker...etc

I founded an agency for students and travelers in Toronto and Kobe. I run tech and creative agency too.
We are looking for partners who introduce tourists to Japan.

My Hobby: I love soccer, art, music, movies and technology. I am a foodie.

My Character: I am easy going.

I prefer to stay homestay rather than hotels. I like to meet local people and hang out together. I like to introduce my crazy friends all over the world. We often reunion with my hosts, guests and travelers in the world.
CS is just the beginning.

Note:
Foreigners say I am very fast for everything. You might think I am very busy and hurry. However it's normal speed for me. We grow up in difference culture. I work hard, study hard and play hard to keep traveling.

CARPE DIEM,
Ken
