Overview
About Me
'Hosting is like traveling without moving'.
'A picture is worth a thousand words'. Check my profile photos to feel the joy of hosting and surfing.
I love traveling, meeting locals and hosting foreigners. I like to meet locals when I travel, this is the best way to understand a culture from beneath its surface. In turn, I will share my culture with them whenever they visit my home. Anyone from around the world is welcome to stay with me.
When you make a request, think of what you can offer during your stay, for example, cook some of your signature dishes for the family, organise a rooftop BBQ, draw some caricatures, potraits of hosts, perform Aeroyoga, Acroyoga, dancing, music, play magic, firedancing ... to cheer up everyone. I prefer verified members.
Do not send a request if you are a party animal just looking for a free bed.
Do not send a request more than 10 days ahead of arrival.
This is NOT a hotel, you must bring your own toiletries, including towels, shampoo, toilet paper, toothbrush, toothpaste, adapter (3 flat legs) and mosquito repellent. I don't provide any of these.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'd like to host and surf, the best way to explore the world. I love food, culture,history,traditions,architecture and share travel stories with people from around the world. The best way to do this, in my opinion, is to stay with locals wherever I travel. Couchsurfing would meet my demand.
