About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy Life

ABOUT ME

I am a very happy, life loving, bubbly person. I love to live in the moment. My passion in life is traveling and meeting new people. My last big trip was travelling solo from Hong Kong to London by train. It took me 8 months, and I loved every bit of it. My favourite country so far is Mongolia.

PHILOSOPHY

I think we are only here once, so we should make the most of every moment and try to make everyone you meet a little bit happier.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couched surfed (for around 3 months straight), hosted surfers in Australia and England, attended couch surfing events and told everyone about the fun and wonderful friendships that can be made through couch surfing. Ohh I have also been reading books about couch surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everyone I have stayed with so far has been so friendly and wonderful. I find couch surfing the best way to get to know a country and would recommended it to anyone. I also like meeting new people and I try to host when ever I can.
