■Career

Spring 1995My first trip abroad was to Bali, Indonesia with a friend.
I realized I had left my wallet at the airport, but I didn't have time and left Japan penniless.
In the fall, I will be going to China for the second time with a Chinese friend.I was surprised by the manners of Chinese people.
I was scammed at Huangshan and lost about 1,000 yen.It's quite a shock.
Spring 1996On his graduation trip (his third time abroad), he traveled to six Southeast Asian countries.
While traveling from Malaysia to Thailand, he had an encounter with Keiko that would have a major impact on his life.
Later, while visiting the holy city of Varanasi in India, he contracted amoebic dysentery while bathing in the Ganges River.
He was welcomed to India after suffering from amoebic dysentery.
Just before returning to Japan, he was scammed in Thailand and lost 150,000 yen.
I learned about my own naivety by paying a tuition fee of 150,000 yen.
Fall 1996I went to Australia to study English.
Two months later, he was so excited by the rider's story that he bought the bike the next day and decided to ride it around Australia.
Travelling over 1,000km without refuelling.A straight line of 476km.Experience the extraordinary nature firsthand.
He had no skill in running on sand and fell, so he went to the hospital 300km away with a cracked toe.
After that, we will drive on some dirt roads and learn how to drive on sand.
He then drives alone through the Simpson Desert, crossing over 1,000 sand dunes, but runs out of gas with just a few dozen kilometers remaining.
Along the way he will do short-term work in Tasmania, South Australia and the Northern Territory.
There were many encounters and farewells, and we spent about a year having fun.

After returning to Japan, he visited Furano in the summer to hike in the mountains of Hokkaido.
It will be an opportunity to relocate.
Spring 1999Travelling from India to the Middle East.
what is love? In search of the answer, he volunteered at Mother Teresa's facility in Calcutta (now Kolkata), India for about two weeks.
I will never forget the work I did at one of these facilities, the Home for the Dying.
Later, when he visited the holy city of Banarasi for the first time in three years, he was struck by a mysterious high fever and shivered with cold, his temperature at 40 degrees Celsius, despite the temperature being 42 degrees Celsius.
In the next country, Pakistan, I was very scared when the night bus I boarded late at night crashed into a field, and I fell for a trick at an illegal currency exchange in a border town and lost tens of dollars.
There were a lot of things that happened, but I returned home safely.

He has visited Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, North and West Africa.
Hitchhiking across the Sahara Desert from Morocco to Mauritania and Senegal.
Keiko, a senior colleague I met three years ago, was dispatched to Senegal as part of the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers.
I wanted to end my backpacking career by meeting Keiko, who gave me the motivation to become a traveler, one last time.
When I left Senegal, for some reason I couldn't board the plane.
The only language spoken besides the local language was French, so we were made to wait for 12 hours without knowing why.
I later found out the plane had broken down.

After returning to Japan, we went to Furano.
