One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Impossible to choose one specific thing...
Going fully local in Malaysia, going way off the beaten track in Indonesia, wandering Taiwan's great outdoors, hitchhiking and tramping jaw-dropping New Zealand, getting used to island time in tropical Samoa,.
All travel experiences always have their ups and downs, but everything was amazing in its own right!

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe we can all learn something from each other and that's why I love couchsurfing! Everyone can share their opinion and knowledge about all sorts of stuff and thats how we learn about new cultures and people. I feel like we cannot meet enough new people and share enough views, every person you meet has their own little universe inside them which may surprise and amaze you

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always open to new and cool experiences :) I love to discover places off the beaten track and see lots of stuff but I also just like to talk to people and see the local life. In general pretty easygoing but talkative
