About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to see as much of Europe as possible and get to know their REAL cultures!

ABOUT ME

I'm Thai but I was very fortunate that I had a chance to live in different countries when I was younger. I go to uni in Hong Kong but right now I'm on my exchange semester in Bordeaux, France and I'm lovin lovin it big time!!
I love seeing, discovering, and getting to experience the cultural differences of people as I move/live/travel around - I think it's one of the most fascinating thing in the world!
This is my first time in Europe and I could say that I know NOTHING about Europe or European culture before I came here so I would like to take this chance and make the most of it.
Personality wise, I'm an easy-going, (super) talkative, funny(I think...but most of my jokes are so lame ><"), adapatable.
I loveeee taking pictures, travel, dance, clothes, music, arts, cooking, adventure,talk, walk, run, sing(though I'm bad at it), learning new languages basically everything that doesn't require sitting still

*** P/S Please don't get mad at me if you reply me the night before I travel or the day I travel and I do not reply you or call you back because sometimes it's hard to find an internet café to check my e-mail when I'm on the road. Please understand :) ***

PHILOSOPHY

-Chances come and go, take it now or forever behold.
-I live my life for my parents, my family, for all the things that I haven't seen/know/experience, for all the people out there that would need my help and that I would be able to help one day, and for the fact that I've given a life to live
-Life is complicated but yet simple at the same time... a lot of time you're asking yourself "why" and not satisfied with what you have... but that's life - c'est la vie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I'm just starting to get to know more about CS myself but I'm spreading words around to all my friend about this project and I think it's an awesome way for people to get to know the REAL cultures (and not the touristy experiences of the places)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Really awesome for most of the time - awesome people :D

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I like most types of movies. Not a big fan of horror movies though (too many superstitious things in Thailand!!)
Music: like most types of music (RnB,Hip Hop, Jazz, Pop,Rock,Reggae,Oldies,Classical, etc etc). Not a big fan of techno and electronics though (but some are good!)
Books: haven't got a chance to read much lately. Mostly Lonely Planet and textbooks these days

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once participated in a camp that help people in the rural areas in Thailand restore their house after a major landslide. It was amazing! We dig, we built, we lived with the local villagers and they treated us like their family. - an unforgettable experience really!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I wanna learn how to DANCE properly!! It'd be cool if someone can teach me Hip Hop/RnB, Reggae, ZOuk, ball roon dancing >> any kind of dance! :D
I wnna learn words in other languages too - so at least i know how to say "sorry" and "thank you" to people
I wnna learn about ppl from different cultures, how they live, what they like, and their thoughts
I could teach Thai and share my experiences/opinions on things.
