Hola!

This is Joan, and I'm spending some weeks in Chiangmai. I was actually living here for 20 months in 2019 and 2020.

I consider myself as easy-going, active and funny. I am very independent and enjoy being alone and doing things by myself; but I am also very sociable, so if you feel like sharing some of your time with me, will be my pleasure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't enjoy much the "fast tourism", meaning running 2 or 3 days around a city to visit all the famous places.
What I like is to know the culture, having the feeling of how is to live there: enjoying the famous places but also chilling in corners where only the citizens stay, while meeting and talking with both locals and foreigners about everything. That is the best.

Interests

During my free time I do martial arts, football, ping-pong, hiking, reading, and whatever my friends and I feel like.

• arts
• music festivals
• reading
• martial arts
• tourism
• solo travel
• traditional food
• playing football
• watching football

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending more than a year living in very different places, getting to know the locals and their culture.
Now I'm going to be travelling for 5 months (until March 2024) while I work.

Teach, Learn, Share
