Greetings fellow traveler! I'm Sha, a green-eyed lady with an Asian heart. 🐉🌹When I'm not working on concretising my aspirations, I set off on solo trips to explore the wild beauty of the Earth. At 20, I've left everything to move to Japan and have travelled the world ever since.

Aside from travelling, my key points of interest are writing poetry and creating videos. I've developed a recent passion for filmmaking and want to deepen my ability to capture the miracles of the mundane. The richness of our world is fascinating, and the truth is, it's right there before our eyes. Yet in our constant busyness, it often goes overlooked.

Through my creative expression, both linguistic and visual, I hope to shine light on the gems hidden in our everyday lives, as well as capture the most incredible places on Earth - in honour of the fascinating world we're living in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a fairly lone wolf lady enamoured with the freedom and excitement of wandering the unknown on my own.

However, mankind can be incredibly inspiring! I've made countless life-changing encounters everywhere I went. I wish to keep mingling with interesting and ambitious people worldwide, to open my reality to new cultures and philosophies. Let's share consciousness shifting conversations and dreams together, expanding ever higher as we deepen our understanding of this mysterious journey that is life.

We have only one in this body, let's make the most out of it...!

Music, Movies, and Books

🎧I particularly enjoy moody RnB vibes (Rini, Sabrina Claudio, Jeff Bernat, Jay Park...) Yet I also love Jazz and classical music (Joe Hisaishi being my favourite compositor). Ultimately, I have no set boundaries, anything making my heart vibe is good music!

🎬 When it comes to movies, I love indulging in Chinese cinema and Asian films in general. I adore their artistic framing and the poetic way they bring stories to life through visuals. To name a couple of my favourites: The scent of green papaya, The House of flying daggers (I love martial arts and dynamic fights). I shall also mention my true admiration for Hayao Miyazaki's animation films, which I have watched countless times in my teens.

📚As for books, I've been drawn to more spiritual and eastern philosophy topics lately, but truthfully, I enjoy learning about everything from business and science to art and the miracles of Mother Nature. Ahhh... There is always more interesting things to learn!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve lived in five different countries thus far, and notably spent four unforgettable years exploring the Tokyo jungle. Yes, don’t be fooled by the metropolitan etiquette. The capital of the Rising Sun is wild in its own captivating way. Which is the most exciting side of travelling, isn’t it? It demands a complete surrendering to the culturally shocking novelty, and teaches us (more or less gently) how to truly go with the flow! 🏄🏼

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to help anyone, from the cute spider under my bed to the stranger I just met on the streets.

It's always a pleasure to share any bits of wisdom I've gathered, spanning subjects like copywriting, language learning, fashion, spirituality, holistic nutrition, entrepreneurship, digital marketing, online course creation, Youtube + Instagram growth... or even how to get lost in the forest at sunset (follow me for real adventures :P).

What I Can Share with Hosts

My journey is imbued with a balance of spiritual practice, entrepreneurship, and creative exploration. I can bring my uniquely diverse set of skills and deep passion for living life to the fullest - along with a genuine, heartfelt smile. By my side, we're not here to perform or conform, but to shine our truth; raw and real (it's more interesting that way!) :)

🍌FOOD: I can cook you delicious breakfasts and plant based dishes. I've been vegan for 4+years but I consider myself a flexitarian now (mostly plant based). There's no such thing as the perfect diet. Tune into what your body craves and live a happy, passionate life. That's the true secret to longevity. 🌿
