Former session musician-turned-English teacher, I know run an online language company and travel through Asia with my main base in Indonesia.

After 10 years traveling on my own and meeting various types of people (which I thoroughly enjoyed), I decided to settle down a bit more and spend more time in the places I get to visit.

However, I still enjoy the idea of meeting up with new people and sharing perspectives on what we get to see and experience through our respective trips.

Meet you someday maybe !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As said above, sharing experiences with people I'm on the same wavelength with is the thing that makes my trips the most enjoyable and memorable, and Couchsurfing sounded like the most authentic website/app to use in thi respect. I'm not necessarily for places to stay at or to host, but just genuine conversations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love having chats about travels, music, languages and books. I volunteered at different places all over the world as a farmer and a teacher, so I'm more than happy to give a hand and learn new tasks whenever I am asked to.
