This is an interview with Mochan of the Wish Club in Japan. I met Mochan in October 2010 while traveling across Japan. I emailed him through couchsurfing.org and ended up staying with him and some other travelers for 2 nights. What made this couchsurfing experience different from other ones was that Mochan does this full-time and sometimes hosts up to 20 people at a time. Mochan also bought a bus and started the Wish Club to help travelers experience Japan in a unique way while also building a network of amazing people all over the world. When I stayed with Mochan, he also had a guy from Spain, a woman from Vietnam, and a couple Japanese friends staying with him and all of us quickly became friends and joined Mochan for a couple days of fun around Japan. He brought us to temples, a sake factory, Mt.Fuji, a traditional tea ceremony, a giant robot, fish markets, picnics by a lake, and we even spent a night at a friend’s cottage in Izu. I couldn’t help but be amazed by the thousands of gifts and postcards that travelers have given Mochan over the years. When I arrived back in Canada, I knew I had to interview Mochan one day and see what this was all about. Here is that interview. Note: I have edited some of the interview (English is not Mochan’s first language) so that it will be better understood by you.
