Was gone for 4-5 yrs on cs & finally paid the fee wall a few months back.

Actually have been around longer when it was free , and hosted and surfed but that's also a long story.
Maybe you'll hear it .

* lets try not use cs only as a hotel ,a language tutor, date or advice machine 、its this sense of entitlement or wrong mindset i think some shouldn't be on cs.
its more than that.

I'm an actual person. id appreciate if we could talk like real people or someone as you would a potential friend and someone wed both keep in touch with after said trip.
not just be asked whats the best this or that. or hey local tell me this or blah. we all have our opinions and we all just need to chill and treat each other humane.

if im on hangouts
i usually try to reach out to people near by, who fit each others schedule and is mindful of both me and others. id be surprisef if your from the hangouts and you bothered reading this far, but dont be offended if i leave the group or chat if its going nowhere. its probably for the best ?

i dont discriminate by age gender or country of origin and if youre the type to do so, well i guess we wont be hanging so its fine.

im curious in making friends locally as well as well from abroad. however the locals are at times elusive but nevertheless hopefully, luck will have it so we can meet.

日本語も多少話せるので、日本の方でしても、ご安心してください、コミュニケーション通じ、国籍、人種、年差別、性別気にせず皆と楽しめる時間を過ごしたいと思います、都内の友達もほしいので、家族、夫婦、独身、老人、気にして無いので、皆さんと話したいと思います

all in all, i wish for everyone to have a good time where everyone wil have fun or enjoy it; itd be great if timing and itineraries merge but if not, it cant be helped.

also. yes if youve messaged me or were on the hangouts ive read your profile to generally see what youre about. if we totally dont seem to be understood by each other, we shall end things there.

** Alittle bit about me ***

Ppl say I might be rough around the edges but i simply like being honest with people or straightforward. I like to get things done and occasionally wander aimlessly within reason . I'm usually prepared for stuff that might go down.

I enjoy art , music, culture , people, food and. Ive experienced things
but would enjoy hearing your stories depending.

Y.m; or whatever your name is
, are You sure you really wanna be here?
Well, believe it or not, I do enjoy having a talk or hanging out with varied people of different backgrounds and experiences.

Hence I hosted people in other cities formerly. Made the occasional event . Locals or travelers , I try to understand philosophy and sometimes what makes the world go round.

I speak English/Japanese.　
i will not be speaking japanese to you if you speak english. i may teach you a phrase or two but dont expect a full blown lesson or language exchange. its my day off, let me enjoy it too.

I'm not from Japan and brought up elsewhere. I do things my way when I'm alone but when theres other people, i try my best
to make it an US time of fun and laughs. Hopefully we get the time to talk about everyone and we all can chill, laugh , cry , and be human

I might sound not super open about myself but quite frankly in this day and age , Im sorry but can you truly tell me you trust people who you just met online,
and they won't do you dirty ? So Im gonna read you and we're gonna talk and if we vibe, youre one step closer to gaining a y.m. friend!

fyi:
Im pretty responsive with a direct message if you really need to get ahold of me.
..

ill try and chill with anyone as long as youre not self centered or have ulterior motives. unfortunately some people are clueless so youll know when you know.

oh and disregard the groups im associated with , i dont know how to undo them, and joined a few in the past when i was traveling with s bunch of variety of peoples
.but if youre judgey about such groups, ya we , its ok if we dont chill and hopefully in another life you can be more openminded

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I traveled before and enjoy the company of easy going happy people. Negative people begrudgingly accepted as well , as i sometimes am one haha

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots and lots !
Love music and i keep up with the most recent movie debuts and trends .

Love movies as well so usually up-to-date .

AlThough I try not to go to a Japanese cinema as they are about 1200-1800 yen ? Back home it was cheaper...but maybe that was decades ago ... Hahah I'll wait till my movies come out on vhs or on beta. 😂
