About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present.
The sky is not the limit!
Maintain connections with those that inspire you!

ABOUT ME

I'm adventurous, creative, ambitious, and humorous!

I'm a Senior Research Engineer working for a technology product company.

I'm half Japanese and have spent most of my time growing up in Berkshire and in Bath.

I've travelled around the world: across Asia, Australasia, Europe, and small part of the US. I would love to South America next and other parts of Asia next!

I love to keep fit to keep my energy high, so I do running, cycling, swimming, bootcamps, and recently started golf again.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's a box of chocolates - you don't know what you're going to get.

Everyone should laugh at least once a day!

What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean.

My powers are ordinary. Only my application is my success.

No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I provide a relaxed place to stay in Bath, and have organised a few events: Hiking, Running, Drinks, Theme Parks, short walking tours in the city and around the outskirts by car (Chedder, Wells, Glastonbury, Cotswolds).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've not yet couch surfed much myself, but have hosted several times - see references. I've met up with amazing CS people through the events I've organised and being part of other events. I've also meet CS people form various cities across Europe and Asia.
