About Me

𝘈𝘉𝘖𝘜𝘛 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘶𝘱𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 4 November 2024

Hello!

First thing to know is that I’m in a long-distance relationship and for this reason am only hosting guys and couples. Thanks for understanding!

People say I'm kind, relaxed, and accommodating. Punny and witty. Somewhat cynical. Open-minded. More introverted than extroverted.

I do not smoke and rarely drink.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is about sharing your life, your experiences, your journey, your home, your extra almonds, or a majestic sunset. We believe that the spirit of generosity, when applied liberally, has the power to profoundly change the world.
--

While in Da Nang, I am hosting guys and couples. Because I have a girlfriend. If that’s you, send a request!

When I hosted in Bangkok, I used CouchSurfing to share my space and time, hosting 12 people from all over the world within three months.

As a host in Kansas City, USA, I used CouchSurfing to share Midwestern culture, kindness, hospitality, and so much Kansas City BBQ.

As a couchsurfer, I want to spend time and hang out with you — to learn about you as a person and at the same time learn about your culture. However, I'm flexible if you have other commitments. Please let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly.
