About Me

Travel runs in my blood.
The people I’ve met on the road have filled my life with incredible stories, inspiration, and laughter. Now, I’m eager to give back and immerse myself in this wonderful World.

Pls read "maybe accepting guests" then send an official request accordingly. I’m mindful who I invite into my home. I would like to share quality time with Couchsurfers and keep in touch afterwards.

I am looking for specific couchsufers:
Those who are willing to cook, bake then talk over food, desserts with me. Add your existence and create cozy vibe in my kitchen. Bring your coffee,tea,snacks and spices. I also love to invite others with you so that we socialize with new people. You are very welcome to create projects making short movies, busking whatever. Just be an artist with me.

All above is called Relational Athetics by Rirkrit Tiravanija. It's a part of contemporary art. You stay with stranger's home sharing, creating something is definitely the art. We have an important word in Korea 식구(Sikgu) which means to eat together under the same roof. That means family.

Contribute yourself in the corner of the World feeling connected, welcomed and appreciated rather than drifting as a solo traveler. Be an artist with me. Art is all about attitude, perspectives.

The Korean artist opens up her traditional house in Seoul to people.

My present self:
I worked at independendent bookstore for 2years. Now I focus on writing my travel essay, plus looking for a stable job. I am into rebuilding new life in my hometown with communites. I used to travel massively but I am more settled with my wild sprit hidden.
I am into financial sustainability which will lead to travel on the regular basis hopefully before I turn grandma . Haha

My past self:
I traveld around the world for 7 years in a row from Cambodia to the west till U.K and Norway. It was slow as I crossed borders by overland, plus it was more like another way of living itself rather than traveling.
The experience changed whole my life.

Interests:
My interests are broad.
Arts, literature,culture and psychology.
history, nature.
Surfing, dances, yoga, music, cinema.
Investments, stocks, bitcoins, stability, life styles, opening up my own business real estates, etc.
Just learn deeply.

Plus how to be connected with people like minded who is building their own lives with rich experiences.
I like to meet especially who has own experiences for work, life and alternative communities with their perspectives.

ABOUT ME
William Shakespeare said:

It is thrilling that what I would like to be on different stages of the world through my journey.
My curiosity wins fear to a new world so that it makes my one step to the Earth with smile,open mineded spirit and warm heart.

PHILOSOPHY
I want to know why I was sent to the world that is why I am travelling all over the world and after the journey I will be able to what I can do and what my destiney is.

it is simple. Just do it what I want. Risk all I have now for my value.

AnnaPurna Circuit Trekking for 21days.(solo)

Poetry busking in Tbilisi, Georgia

Silence meditation at Nilambe Buddhist center, Candy. Srilanka

Scuba diving license for beginners in Summtra.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is wonderful to connect myself to people where I travell in sharing life, refereshing and influncing each other.
Surely it would be best to end with laughing together and hugging with heart from strangers in the beginning.

In Pennang in June
I had my first couchsurfing with a couple that was wonderful.
The hospitality and sharing life experience was what I persue.
So I believe in couchsurfing spirit!
