Hi, my name is Mina, 24 years old and I am a freelance PADI Dive Instructor. I studied oceanography at the University of Southampton, UK. I love adventures and meeting new friends. My passion for travelling has taken me to over 20 countries. I have lived and worked in Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. Since 2014 I have been actively doing different marine conservation activities, particularly in the coral reef restoration.

Drop me a message in my facebook Mina Karin (I can be very slow in CS) and my instagram @monamina29 for recent photos and travels. You can check out my travel blog too: www.moanamina.strikingly.com

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Travelling is the best thing - but what makes it worthwhile is the friends that we meet along the way. :)

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Overcame my water phobia as I was not able to swim few years back. I learned that I was scared only because I can not see what is in the water. The moment I put on my swim goggle and diving mask, the underwater world is beyond anything. Slowly I made my way to be a PADI Instructor, a very challenging path but I did it!!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach you how to snorkel, the basics of free diving and scuba diving, bits of my language (Malay), and cook my local foodies. I love scuba diving and oceanography - so if you want to ask me anything ocean-related - please do so!
