Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to hosts guests from time to time, go out with them for sightseeing, eating and fun and helping them to find their way in KL, Malaysia and South-East-Asia, where I am living for many years now. During my traveling, i also use couchsurfing on an occasional basis as an alternative to hotels and hostels or sometimes just to meet with locals for dinner or drinks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

so far, so good, met many interesting people with lots of exciting stories to tell and developed new long lasting good friendships.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekking in Himalaya

Teach, Learn, Share

My recent travels confirmed to me that the environment in this beautiful world (especially in Asia), has been damaged already so much. So, I try, as far as I can, not to waste energy, water and other resources, and from time to time I will try to convince other fellow travelers to do the same by using more overland public transport, reducing use of plastic bottles, switch off the AirCon and boycott some fast food and coffee chains which use too much plastic
