I consider myself an honest and genuine person, but when it comes down to it I don't want to talk about me, I want to talk about you.

I think what makes life fascinating are people: their lives, where they've come from, where they're going - and what fundamentally makes them tick (though I suppose it's impossible to truly ever know that).

I think everyone has something to teach you, and I try to learn from each person I meet (which incidentally was a (very humbling) lesson I learnt from someone!) And I might be able to teach you something too... who knows??

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Through travelling I've met some fascinating and amazing people, some randomly, but most on Couchsurfing.

I am continuously blown away by the experience of meeting people on this platform specifically, the community, the hospitality of strangers, the interest of fellow travellers. I wish to continue that exploration for as long as I have an available space as a host, or an available day as a traveller.

I hope to learn from every new person I meet to become less naive, and understand more about the world we live in.
