Overview
About Me
Be Kind and Be Human!
A spiritual-being on my spiritual journey. A firm believer that all forms of inequality, injustices and oppression should be denounced! Free Palestine!
My idea of couchsurfing is simple and pure: GOODWILL! Couchsurfing is not about saving money. It's about cultural exchange, meeting friends around the world, learning from each other, getting new perspectives and embracing diversities.
In politics, I believe in basic common sense. I believe there should be more politicians like Bernie Sanders and less of Hillary Clinton and would have wished Trump does not exist in this universe. If you are "pro-Israel" and does not believe in Palestinan rights, pls skip me.
If you're genuine, kind, honest and open-minded, let's couchsurf!!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Started couch-surfing in Sep 2012 when I was traveling in Alaska. At the beginning, I was a little skeptical as I wondered why people were so nice. I, then, realized that there are just many genuine people out there who simply wanna extend their kindness to anyone, make new friends, experience different cultures etc. I find that very beautiful hence I started hosting decided at my apartment in Phoenix, AZ. It has been absolutely amazing!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I was hosted by many amazing Couchsurfers around the world and that prompted me to start hosting in early 2012. Both hosting and surfing experience have been amazing and I've never had a single bad experience.
In March 2013, I embarked on a one-year trip in South America. I have met many incredible Couchsurfers with very inspiring perspective of life and I learnt a lot. There are just so many intangible gains from CS.
To me personally, CS is the best avenue for culture exchange. I promise I will start hosting again once I settle at a place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Well this is not exactly something I've done willingly but it was definitely something amazing I experienced. I was robbed in Medellin, Colombia when I was arriving at my host's place. I literally lost everything except my passport. You can imagine how devastating it was but amazing things happened after. I got helped from so many beautiful Colombians I barely knew. They gave me clothes, helped me with lodging police report, spent days shopping for things with me. There was so much humanity and it deeply touched my heart. I also learned to be very positive in any trying situations. It was a good life experience.
