CURRENT MISSION

I'm coming to Phoenix, AZ to see Grand Canyon and experience the heat! (err... just kidding about that last one... haha I don't want to melt!!). Can't wait to do sightseeing on the Sonoran desert and Phoenician water parks.

Be better storyteller!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gives an incredible chance to meet locals and stay with someone who make your trip more personalized than staying at a luxury hotel (which I can't afford anyway). Usually people offering their couches are eager to exchange travel stories and culture customs. I love to listen travel stories and learn about different cultures. I traveled through CS several times. Every time I got an amazing experience and made friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitch-hiked during blizzard in Serbia. I surrvived a night in Georgian mountains with wolves. I experienced sleeping in a tent during the storm on Black Sea coast. I hit the tree with my dad's car.
