What I want to share with you as first thing

** Dear CS members, I don’t use this app for dating like Tinder or else. If you prefer specific gender, I’m fine. But please REPLY ME. If I sent any message to you I don’t use copy and paste, I use at least 30minutes to read your profile as passport then make a message. I’m bit sad if you ignore my message. **

1. I received from CS many things, good friends, amazing food sharing, doing sth together, helping people, TBH, It’s a life school for me. Most of time, because of you, CS members. You guys are my teachers and friends. That is why I use CS for a long time.

2. I will bring as many travel stories to your couch as possible. I’d like to share all things about my travel experiences was how good to people who can't travel due to these reasons. Taking Job, Health problem, Family serving, Budget issues, and else.

3. I am interested in understanding lifestyle through food. I work in food industry, but it's also something I'm truly passionate about. I think delicious food can contain everything like seasons, love, health, and friendship. I want to share good food and time with everyone I'll meet here.

I have friends with long-term friendship who met from CS. I met them regularly. We are still connected, friendship, love are powerful 🙏❤️

Interests

Culture and Travel. Those words are just me. I like travel and understand people from ground(basic), without prejudice. I dont like rasism. I believe every people is always same and respectable.

Culture is important too. I like diffrent culture, Culture is included many things. religion, movie, music, atmosphere, nature, food, literature, cloth ... but to me, culture is life-style, also you know, life-style is included everything. so I'm interested in People how to live.

and my hobby is SCUBA DIVING(PADI certificated), FOOD making, watching MOVIES. and make a new friend.
