I'm a little bit adventurous, within the realms of comfort. I'll hike a mountain, or bungy from a bridge, but equally happy with a glass of wine, a comfy chair and a classic novel. I love to learn and explore, travel and experience all I can - and I am looking for someone who shares that sense of curiosity. I like positivity and optimism, I want to share my crazy ideas with someone creative in their thinking and relaxed in their attitude to life. I like to talk about the world and its wonders, and would like to be with someone who enjoys sharing their thoughts and challenging themselves.

I'm very spontaneous and outgoing. I'm looking for friends who can be honest and be open to many different possibilities. Drop me a line if you are up for it! I like many things in life...and enjoy my work that helps many to lead healthier, happier life :) I'm a foodie and love good wines with good company. In the free time, I think about the place I travel next. If you have an interesting travel story, I'd love to hear it!

Hi! I'm new here in Japan and am looking to find a nice j-boy to spend time with. I'm studying Japanese in Osaka and will be looking for work soon, probably teaching English. I'm a vegetarian girl who is passionate about cooking and travelling. I love to meet new people and just have fun with life :)

I'm fun loving, affectionate, and easy going. Loves traveling, art, books, movies, Motorcycle(Harley:own one),cars, DIY, cycling, hiking/outdoors, eating out, wine, cute animals! :) Above is very simplified version, and I've found someone was feeling the same as I am today... as follows : "I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I’ve become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what displeases me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me. I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do not get along with those who do not know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who do not like animals. And on top of everything I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience."

Simply put, the dream: I want someone to go do stuff with on beautiful days and make it fun to go do stuff with even when the weather is crap, someone to go out to dinner with and cook with or cook for, someone to watch movies and enjoy music with, someone who appreciates me and whom I can look forward to seeing who will smile when they see me. (And the reality, a nice evening of wine or craft beer and food and conversation could be very pleasant and maybe a good start.) Might you be that man for me? Read along and see: I'm smart, strong, silly, vulnerable, able to fit in, but impossible to pigeonhole. I have a very wide range of interests and believe that life is too short to sit back and wait for it to happen. I believe in true love, but I have lived long enough to know that the perfect match doesn't mean a perfect person. Communication and honesty are prerequisite criteria for me. I love photography and all kinds of art. Visual, musical, verbal, written, art moves me and makes me happy, makes me cry, makes me happy to be alive and be so lucky as to be witness to and participate in creativity and imagination. Low-brow to high-brow, I appreciate all sorts of fun and beauty. Whipped up on the fly, labored over for days, or bought for cheap on the street, I love the pleasures of eating. I love traveling. I've seen a total solar eclipse in Bolivia, summited Mt. Kilimanjaro, jumped off the cliff at the southernmost point in the US (in Hawaii), hiked fjords in Alaska, chilled out in Thailand and Cambodia, made a whirlwind out of visiting Hong Kong and Singapore and Thailand in a week, swum with sea turtles and sea lions and sharks in the Galapagos, tried some rock-climbing, zip-lining, and bungee-jumping, and I want to do SO much more! I just need someone to do it all with. Really though, a lot of the time I find that life itself is all the adventure I need; I can be perfectly content staying home with just the two of us or spending quality time with friends. I've lived here for a long time, but there are still so many things to do and see. As much as I enjoy traveling abroad, I love traveling in Japan, too. I'd like to make it up to Tokyo more often. So ... I love to travel and do things ... Any fun suggestions? ;-) For the Golden Week holiday at the beginning of May a few years ago, I had an awesome 4 days with two close girlfriends climbing some peaks (checked off two more mountains on the list of 100 Famous Mountains in Japan), camping, and going to a couple of hot springs. That summer, I climbed mountains in Hokkaido and Hakuba, and dropped in on Tokyo to party. In the last two years, I traveled to Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Okinawa, the Galápagos Islands, Denver, and Australia's Sunshine Coast. Until something or someone otherwise occupies my time, I'll be working, working out, reading, watching movies and my favorite shows, taking photos, meeting up with friends, and checking in here hoping to uncover a rare gem. Who knows, maybe this open-minded, independent, thoughtful, fun-loving Texan woman in Japan will get lucky and find the man who will move heaven and earth and cross the seven seas to be with her!

Looking to meet new friends in Japan. Love to enjoy all the moments in life and share company with upbeat people. Looking for a friendship, maybe more (with women). No expecations, just exploring the adventures in life. I am trying to learn Japanese, but I have a lot to learn. I enjoy traveling and tried many things life has to offer but I like to appreciate being just where I am. People never think I am as old as I am. Don't let 44 fool you, generally people assume I am in my early 30s.

I'm an English teacher who has been living out in Tokyo for the past 2 years. I love going to livehouses and listening to indies music, as well as playing volleyball in the park! I also love watching movies and playing video games when I get the time.

I'm a university teacher and I live in Hirakata-shi. This is my second time in Japan, but first time working here. I am from California, and I speak a little bit of Japanese and I'm currently taking a Japanese class. I really love outdoor activities, especially hiking, biking. I love international movies, and trying new food.

Hi!  I look forward to meeting you! I used to be a school teacher in the US but now I teach English in Japan! I came here because life is too short to keep doing the same thing over and over! I love meeting Japanese people and enjoy learning about new friends! Love to sing, travel, take photos, and try new experiences. I try to be a kind, thoughtful, well- balanced person...but I also like to have lots of fun!

First and foremost, I am an outgoing nerd. I don't let that stop me from being interesting, though. I like lots of things, most of them rooted in Japanese culture. Music (pop or music with celtic/ethnic influence or piano, primarily), video games, fantasy novels, karaoke, good food, Japanese dramas, etc., etc... I like wrestling with the guys, dancing awkwardly, stopping to smell the roses/look at the clouds, going new places, driving with the music up loud, eating pomegranates, staying up way too late, and really good hugs.

Outgoing, Outspoken, Fun. I am a straight up girl. So I'll tell you this, if you actually read my profile, I will know. I am not interested in anyone above the age of 28. If all you see if my picture and decide that you are "interested" in me...then you're wasting your time.

We like Japan, Japanese, skiing, cooking, watching films, eating out, clubbing, computers, books, anime and world travel. In the last two years we have been to France, Italy, Portugal, Austria, Japan, Belgium and Estonia. Stephanie is quite shy in a group but much more chatty one-to-one and has been learning Japanese for two years. Jason likes to have a good time and makes new friends easily. He has been studying Japanese for a few months.

Hi there, thanks for taking time to read my profile. I am an easy-going, down-to-earth person with gsoh. I love travelling and trying out different kind of cuisine and meeting people. I'm also into clubbing, cooking and a bit of diy. Have lived in London for 7 years and i would very much like to meet someone who can brush up my english.

I am here to meet people and make friends I like walks warm waether baking bead embroidery and TV shows I have a online shop on etsy where I sell the things I make called craftstoreforyou and will soon start teaching once a week on Monday as a English teacher .at a sort of English club type place If you want to know more contact me

i lead a simple life, love to explore places, travel, talk to people, just learn more about life and the world basically. i talk real fast...so if you get a headache from fast talkers, stay away from me (haha!) i suppose i love to talk..... but i love to sit down and just space out too. i don't think i'm not difficult, just takes some time, effort and a whole lot of sincerity to connect with.

I like watching movies, dramas, and Japanese comedy show. I obtained BA degree in CA, U.S.A. (though my English is not that good) I graduated the university last May so I'm now looking for a job. Ah, I have experience of studying abroad in Mexico for 6 months. I speak a little Spanish. I lost most of it :( About my personality, my friends tell me I'm very honest and good listener. I think I am shy and take longer time to get to know a person than ordinary ppl.

I firmly believe that everyone I meet in my life leaves some sort of impression on me, so I like to meet all kinds of people. It's hard for me to describe myself to be honest. I like people to make up their own mind about me, so just ask me if you want to know anything!
