About Me

"The world is a book,those who do not travel read only a page."

"Discovering places that are beyond the naked eye of being a tourist & through the eye of being a local."

" DISCOVER it to LEARN it, EXPERIENCE it to UNDERSTAND it, ENJOY it to LOVE it!! "

I'm a straight forward,silly(sometimes),friendly & jolly person. I love making friends,talking about everything!. I love eating,hanging out, partying,cooking,singing,dancing, lively & funny talks(count me in!😉).I'm always ready to go with the flow (if it's something i can do😜)I always believe in Karma.I always wanna have fun & i hate boring moments!I love discovering things so i love asking most about everything! I work hard & often have no time for a day off,so when i got a chance i always make most out of it!I love islands & beaches (though i don't know how to swim😁)lol! Everything else about me will be revealed when u meet me up. For me words are always deceiving but actions are revealing.I can say all the nicest things about myself but i won't, coz actions & attitude always shows.Everything else about me is for me to know & for you to find out. 😉

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling.I also wanna make more friends & help them to tour around on nice places that are interesting & not so touristic , show the hangout places of locals & way of living as a local, share travel experiences, discover different cultures, introduce local food, teach some words in a local language, & have fun!fun!fun!😃

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:

well honestly, i never tried surfing yet but did host a few & been to many meet ups.
For meet ups:
Sadly, i sent many request to meet up with girls but only few accepted so mostly it's guys i met up with (coz whenever I'm free i accepted to meet up,only when I'm busy i rejected some 😔)it depends on my working schedule.
For hosting:
The first time i hosted i was soooo nervous coz it was soo sudden,but then my guest was gentleman enough to put me at ease (though sometimes i was scared to talk coz he seems so serious 😜) but guess what, we did get along well somehow. (tho' his kinda bossy & picky😉 ).The rest u can check on my host's references.
After that,it all went well as i enjoyed meeting up new people hanging out & had fun with them!By then, i truly feel what couchsurfing is all about.!It's not having free accommodation to save while traveling,it's about adapting the culture,experience & people!

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music all genre except metal & hard rock.Movies??I Love movies!!I never miss an evening date with cinema,every week!!(i often gone watching alone :-) )i like everything except dramatic ones.(coz it made me cry like a baby & it's sooo embarrassing! ) Books?For me, the best book to read is PASSPORT it has all the best interesting stories one could ever read!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing thing I've done is that i was able to get out of my box to try something new & different from what I'm used to, like snorkeling though i don't know how to swim but with the help of life vest!(silly right? but at least!!)
The best one is volunteering to teach while traveling,in a small community in Cambodia which gave me experience living like a typical local!

Teach, Learn, Share

Enjoy life while u have it!
Work hard so u can play hard!
DISCOVER it to LEARN it, EXPERIENCE it to UNDERSTAND it, ENJOY it to LOVE it!!
To be honest my target is to learn 7 languages,at least.(cross fingers) ☺

What I Can Share with Hosts

Any ideas i got that i think will be beneficial with hosts, like traveling experiences, some cuisines, tourist spots & cultures of places I've been.
As a guest it's an unwritten rule to maintain the place from how it is when i arrive.(maintain cleanliness & orderliness )
