My name, Poom, is pronounced like Pumbaa from the Lion King!

I'm Thai and I have been working as a researcher on sustainability in Thailand for 2 years already. I used to live in Japan for 4 years for my undergraduate study. Now I'm studying my master in the Netherlands.

(NOTICE: I'm currently living in the Netherlands so I am not available to host anyone who is traveling to Bangkok, Thailand. Sorry!!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I'm doing my master in Europe, I would like to travel and stay with the local for the sake of unforgettable life experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Been to more than 30 states in America when I was very very young, so I barely remember a thing.

- Disobey my parents and cousins to pursue my own dream consecutively for 24 years already.

- Stay in a tent because I missed the last bus to leave the mountain and got surrounded by horde of deers (This happened in Japan).

- Stop a guy from murdering someone.
