► About Me - Hi my name is Shingo. Just in case I don't look like the profile picture which was taken at Holy festival in India. I grew up in Hida Furukawa, spending 18 years in the town. After high school, I went to university around Tokyo and had an opportunity to study at California State University as an exchange student. - My first career was investment banker in Tokyo, which coincided the time Sub-prime crisis started to appear. Spending 7 years in the bank, I learned and experienced so many important things. - In 2011, Great East Japan Earthquake happened. This made me feel like going back to my hometown more although I always thought about it. - Before going back, I decided to take an MBA program in UK, which was one of my dreams. - Now I am back in my hometown in order to achieve my vision: Revitalize my hometown by making the town famous in the world. - In order to do so and to improve my knowledge about my hometown, I have decided to do Hida Free Tours as a volunteer. ► My Hobbies - Love traveling, reading, skateboarding, and guiding my hometown to people from all over the world. - Most recently interested in European history ► Favorite Quotes - Be a traveler, not a tourist - You will never fail until you stop trying - Stay hungry stay foolish - You are the average of 5 people you spent most time with ► My best travel experience - Travel to Brussels in July 2015. At first honestly speaking I did not have good impression on the city when I arrived. After taking walking tour by local, everything looked different and I got to like the city. This experience was really something to me. A guide by a true local has huge power. - Backpacking to India was really fun as well. I made a local friend and he invited me to visit his company's office. We ate local food together and he even gave me souvenirs! It was all done by good will.
