About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting interesting new people. Possibly show them some authentic experiences in my area:)

ABOUT ME

I was born in the countryside about 3 hours drive from the city. I left my family to go into a Buddhist temple when I was 10 years old and spent my life in the temple for 8 years then left after I had enough and went to university for 4 years. I graduated with a degree in Tourism Management (minor in psychology). Started work after graduating as a trekking guide for 3 years and now I have been working for overseas companies as tour leader since 2005-2011. I have my own company since 2011 www.nextstepthailand.com and Spicy Vialla( www.chiangmaiecolodges.com) and run volunteering projects. im a host on Helpx and wwoofing and on m y own site .

please do respect me as a good host and I will share with you. If there is anything you are not sure of as far as behavior while you are staying with me please ask. I have hosted many people but not all of them have respected me and my feelings.thanks

Many people use CS just for free accommodation i understand and accepted but in a creative way !, sometime i didnt work coz i want to be good host to chat and offer many thing but sometime people come and go which 2 words i knew from them is hello and goodbye.....hostels are cheap in Thailand!!!! im sure you can pay and do as you want....im looking for someone fun friendly and keen to learn something from me as local and thai and share and teach me something as who you are and who you kknow
thanks
