Moved to Tampa in late 2023 and have enjoyed getting to know the area and exploring what Florida has to offer! Grew up in Indonesia where my parents were Christian missionaries. It was an awesome place to grow up and gave me a hunger to see more of the world. I have since been able to visit 30+ countries and all 7 continents at least once.

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
by Mark Twain in his book The Innocents Abroad

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

CSers are some of the coolest people you'll ever meet. I have made lifelong friends and met some great roommates through CS. Everyone I've met and hosted has been great and my life is richer because of them.

Over the years, I've hosted surfers from: USA, Brazil, India, France, Germany, Canada, Austria, Spain, Israel, Switzerland, Puerto Rico, Russia, China, Egypt, Slovakia, Australia, Turkey, etc....

Интересы

Being outdoors just taking in the scenery. Sitting on a bench and watching the world pass by sometimes. Hearing life stories and getting into long discussions that meander all over the place.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Blessed to visit all 7 continents of planet Earth. Next stop low earth orbit? 🤞

Had both hip joints and both knee joints replaced with artificial titanium ones allowing me to walk again after 10 years in a wheelchair. Definitely gives you perspective on traveling and mobility.
