CURRENT MISSIONS

Gain Japanese fluency, become a better musician, write my next book, find my other new home, and have an even bigger amazing social network of creative friends around the world.

ABOUT ME

Bought a house in Otaru and seeking the Japanese (expat) dream. The room is a bit rough but open to couchsurfers. Also open to meeting up and hanging out for food, coffee, drinks etc.

PHILOSOPHY

Make lemonade and smile.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been hosting couch surfers and being hosted for most of my life. Before couchsurfing it was with friends of friends. Since joining couch surfing, I've loved hosting, surfing, and meeting new couch surfing friends everywhere I go.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing couches is one of the best ways to make new friends and solidify existing friendships. It's a beautiful thing to share space, share food, share laughter,and share joy.

That being said, I have decided to step away from this platform. I’ve renewed for one more year but the app is too buggy, there are not enough active hosts in places I want to visit, and too many issues to enumerate. I may start using couchers or create my own platform.

音乐、电影和书籍

I like the writing of Basho, Orhan Pamuk, Kim Stanley Robinson, and many others. I generally like my own writing too - more than 20 books written at this point.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I founded a syncretic spiritual philosophy called Baoism. The only hard rule is 'Don't be toxic' and you get to decide what that means.

教，学，和分享

Taking the time to learn about credit cards, mileage points, and the value of a good credit score in our insane society was a good decision - even though I would prefer we lived in a society where all those things were completely unnecessary.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I have some good stories and a warm personality. I've almost always arrived at a host's place and then left a friend's place.
