About Me

When I first joined Couchsurfing, my mission was to see every country in the world. I guess there is still part of me that would love to do that, or at least meet someone from every country so I can learn about their lives and their society. I love being in new places, love discovering how geography shapes a place and how we are similar or different across the wod.

I had my first couchsurfing experience in San Francisco in 2016 And for the next 8 years or so I used to platform to surf whenever I visited new places alone.

I moved to Malaysian Borneo to work in 2022-2025 and loved hosting people there, finally seeing how it is on the other side! Now I will move to Kazakhstan, and once I am settled there I will begin hosting again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connecting with locals makes visiting a new place ten times better.

Interests

Asides from travelling, I love being active outdoors. I like trailrunning and hiking in new places.

Food is my other passion. Before I visit anywhere new, I often look up a handful of good cafes/restaurants that I want to visit. Places with good breakfasts will usually be at the top of my list :)

  • coffee
  • running
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • outdoor activities
  • cycling
  • hiking

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro

Spent a night on a desert island in Fiji with just 3 other people on the whole island.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Chats about the world and our experiences! I'm aiming to see every country in the world so hopefully have a few stories already :)
