*READ PROFILE AND HOSTING RULES*

Been a long time member here but never really explored it back then coz I was still uncomfortable of the idea. My first long solo travel began last September 2018 in Vietnam. I stayed the longest in an NGO volunteer flat until Dec. Finally, I was able to try to surf afterwards in Bangkok with a lovely and generous host. She's probably the reason why I started hosting then. I want to give back to other travelers the generosity given to me. I know there are risks in both hosting and surfing so I have my own ways in taking precautions. Nothing personal.

SORRY NO COUPLE OR FAMILIES: It is expensive here in Japan, which means more people, more expensive in utilities’ use.

MAYBE ACCEPTING: due to my busy schedule at work and if not at work I take the opportunity to travel elsewhere for atleast a few days or a month.

Me as an individual: Nomad wannabe, backpacking, volunteering, teaching, emerging and marketing. Recently moved to Japan after living in Vietnam for 4 years. I haven’t explored my new area yet due to my busy work schedule. I can give tips on other places 😅

Ambivert, can be funny depending on your humor and attitude😅. When people are nice, I am nicer. In love with the water but the water is not so into me. In love with life, new culture, tattoos, hair colors and self expression.
