Overview
About Me
I quit my job in 2022, travelling since. I have no ambition to join the country race so I enjoy one country at a time.
The first time I used couch surfing was Nov 2023 when I visited Bangladesh. It really opened up my travel horizon. Now I try to couch surf when possible.
My travel is evolving each year. In the first year, it's all about sightseeing and hostels to meet and travel with travellers. In the second phrase, I went solo, more of connecting with people, I started couch surfing. Now I'm in a new phrase, trying to look for something meaningful, a way to build a deep connection with people and places. Maybe i will volunteer more this year, and spend more time in each place.
I have seen many stunning places, but for me, the most memorable experiences were with people.
I prefer to travel like locals, stay with locals as much as possible, eat local food, and use local transportation. meeting like minded travellers and hosts. CouchSurfing is a perfect platform. The way I look at couch surfing is not about a place to stay free, it's more of a way to experience genuine, authentic local cultures and life. I'm a believer in the equality of give and take.
I consider myself an adventure traveller: solo female backpacker, hitchhiker, and couch surfers. Often I go remote, wild, and sometimes dangerous places, which are on the list of "avoid all travel". As a minimalist, I travel in a simple way. I'm often a travel agency of my own.
I love cats, but I'm allergic to cats dandruff so if you have cats at home with a carpet floor, it's deadly to me. Please kindly let me know.
As for the friend request, please do not send me one if I haven't met you before. I appreciate.
I embrace couch surfing authenticity: culture exchange. Let's keep this community safe and fun. Look forward to meeting the like minded people.
Happy travels!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Solo backpacking, hitchhiking, and couch surfing around the world. I did the entire Namibia without a car while everyone told you you need a 4x4.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to travel on a tight budget like no others, and share the unknown part of travelling life, its ups and downs. Definitely, I can help you plan your trip for the countries I have visited. There are countless road stories to share, to laugh, and to remember.
I have been dancing Argentine Tango for over 10 years, definitely I can share this beautiful dance with you, and other social dances, like Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, etc. I'm also eager to learn your traditional dances.
Another of my passion is cooking. I look forward to sharing some of my recipes and also picking up a few of yours.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my cultures and traditions, and the cultures of other countries I visited. Maybe some English and Chinese lessons, and some of my signature dishes when possible. Hope one day i can host you in my country or wherever i settle down at the time.
