NOTE
-Hosting : not available for now
-My husband who works for an IT company and I mostly work from home.
-We have a baby boy born in November, 2022, so we prefer to meet up you in daytime.

I used Couchsurfing a lot as a traveler when I did my world solo trip for exploring food cultures in 2019.
I met so many amazing people during the trip through Couchsurfing.

San Francisco → Peru → Morocco → South Spain → Stockholm → London → Spain (again) → France → Italy → Tunisia → Italy (again) → Greece → Israel → Georgia → Turkey → Sri Lanka

Now, it's time to give this appreciation back to the world. I'm sure communicating with travelers is good for our baby too.

We as a family are very calm. We always love to learn new cultures by meeting and talking with people. Hopefully we can mutually benefit from us crossing paths.

I apperently love to cook and share it with people. I make cooking videos and upload on YouTube besides I take care of my baby son.

My husband loves music. He plays a jazz guitar, and he goes to a jazz session sometimes. We love to listen jazz, funk, soul, RnB.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

We love to talk about culture with you.

I used Couchsurfing a lot as a traveler when I did my world solo trip for exploring food cultures in 2019. I would love to stay at local poeple's house rather than staying at hostels because you know why.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I stayed at a zen temple for a month in Nara, Japan when I was 24. That was a definitely a life-changing experience. Waking up on 3:30am, chanting a Buddhist sutra for 1 hour, meditate for 40 mins, eat organic vegan food, cleaning thoroughly over and over everyday. I learned a lot from the experience.

I did a world solo trip from August to December in 2019. I met a lot of amazing people and had so much memorable experiences. I used CouchSurfing and Workaway (Italy, Israel, Sri Lanka) most of the time.
