Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is this appetite for immersing more to diverse cultures across the globe and the different, interesting peoples characters that pushes me to venture into this exciting website.

Interests

Not surprisingly, Theatre magnets me so much apart from writing poetry in vernacular, fictions and stageplay. Nature is my second closest friend and going to an unplan camping in the mountain or the seaside is my hobby. Of course, cooking to a visiting friends or family members, coffee and bookreading is on the lists.
