About Me

𝘈𝘉𝘖𝘜𝘛 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘶𝘱𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 3 June

Hello! I’m currently open to hang out.

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

I do not smoke or 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.
--

When I hosted in Bangkok, I used CouchSurfing to share my space and, when I was available, my time.

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.
