Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Meeting new people every day has helped me gain a broader perspective about the world, and about myself. I think CS is a great platform for meeting people from all over the world, and facilitating a rich exchange of values, cultures and experiences. Having worked in Sales and Marketing roles throughout my 5 year career, I've met over a thousand different people and it has significantly broadened my outlook. I want to replicate this at an international level and I feel Couchsurfing is the perfect place to start! :D

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Lost 14 KGs (~31 pounds) and went down from shirt size XXL to L in 10 months :D
Teach, Learn, Share
Apparently, more people fear Public Speaking than Death. I can teach you some hacks for impactful Public Speaking which could help you minimise your stage fright if you're up for that. I could also teach you a thing or two about Marketing and Branding if your work is related to the domain. I'd be interested in learning how to prepare a dish or two from your cuisine to expand my culinary vocabulary.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I'm learning how to cook and at the moment you can count on me to prepare breakfast for you if you're my host or my guest - omelette, sunny side up, French toast, egg puff, salads and some coffee that I hope's gonna blow your mind :)
