ABOUT ME

I think I am generally friendly & quite chatty. But sometimes, I might appear as quiet (and maybe awkward as well), just give me a bit of time to open up :)

I am a night owl & being on time is quite challenging, but I am trying my best

I am interested in differences between cultures and individual choices/ preferences

I try to keep an open mind about what I like/ dislike because there have been tons of things I wouldn't have realised I liked them if I hadn't given them a shot in the first place

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A friend recommended CS to me, i wasn't convinced but decided to give it a try anyway. Now I'm in to it, surfing & hosting whenever possible. What I like the most is the homey-feeling the place gives out & the companionship. There are amazing people out there that I have met, and will meet soon in the future

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is a hit-and-miss experience. Most of the times CS is awesome, but if it goes wrong, it does impact the whole experience with CS in general

Interests

I like all types of travelling, from some well catered/ well organised tour to budget backpacking trips to unplanned journeys. Each has their own merits and I'm glad to experience them. Hopefully, I can go camping next

I love food, and hope I can try as many authentic cuisines as possible. Food vocabulary is the first thing I pick up on when I arrive/ when I learn a new language, and is the last thing I forget.
