My name is Masaharu. I'm from a small town near Tokyo in Japan. :)

I am a "digital nomad" which means I can work and travel anywhere I want as long as I have a laptop and the internet, but digital nomad sounds too hip for my taste. :P

I work as a freelancer and help foreign companies to enter and succeed in Japan by translating and marketing. In 2016, I traveled half a year while I was traveling around Europe (map of my travel), working in the morning and walking in the afternoon.

I like photography, playing guitar, cooking, philosophy and thinking about random things like philosophical zombies, how to manage tasks more efficiently, how to take better photos, future technologies, why dinosaurs are so big, and why we have a cultural difference.

--My bucket list of little things ---
Eat giant ostrich egg.
Eat surströmming, the Smelliest Food In The World.
Play hide and seek in IKEA.
Get hypnotized.
Grow a beard to 30cm.
Send a drink to a beautiful girl (probably a friend because I'm shy) in a bar like in movies.
Travel in India on the roof of a train.
Go to a country in hyperinflation like Zimbabwe in 2010 and fill a car, bath, bed with money.
Get in a taxi in black suits and yell "follow that car!"
Give homeless suits, books, money to get a job like in the movie "Pay it Forward."
