About Me

I live in Yufuin, not Beppu. I’m usually living in Tokyo but from mid Nov until 7 Dec I’ll be in Yufuin for work.

I am working and living in Tokyo. I’ve lived in Kyoto, Nagoya and Hiroshima. Traveled more than 30 countries so far in Asia and Europe.

Talking with foreigners and sharing experience is very fun and that’s why I travel and host surfers. While traveling, I consider myself not a tourist, but a traveller. I prefer talking to locals, visiting local restaurants or cafe and discovering the way locals live their lives rather than visiting tourist attractions and take photos.

As a guest, I might be a boring person because:
- I don’t drink any alcohol
- I don’t smoke tobacco or vale (except for Shisha)
- I don’t go to any party or club (unless my friends really want to)
- I don’t laugh so much and I’m an introvert

There’s a saying that true wealth is not about what you can accumulate but what you can give to others. This philosophy is at the heart of my life goals. For me, true richness isn’t about showing off a Ferrari or a Rolex; it’s about helping others with my knowledge or treating someone to a meal. No matter how successful I become or even if I face financial difficulties in the future, I am committed to always helping others and giving what I can. This is the philosophy I live by.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a host, to share experience.
As a surfer, to experience the real local world. I do not want to be a tourist, but a traveller, and in my opinion CS is the best way!
