Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i knew CS from my friends who from Brasil in UK.
first time. i had fear of this system. that's why just signed up.
and hesitate to use it. but i decided to use CS after i met one
guy from Africa. he was host and just enjoy meet people who live
different countries and have different experience.
now, i also be a adult. i like drama rather than cartoon.
and i like listen others stories rather than speak.

i have huge interest about poverty.
first important thing is how to approach this topic.
second what make this problem
third who take responsibilty about this problem
fourth why still not change.
and last what kind person i be?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I like dance and sing songs. And enjoy for talking to kill the time with friend
Especially I like listen others stories and really have fun to know more and more about others..
I like movie especially independent movie.
Because that kind of movie make me deeply think.
Every time I wonder why every movie focused on main character.
You know omnibus, every people have their own stories. And no one have same life as others.
And every life is exciting. No one live boring life.
But sometimes when I met people who think they are just normal and live very boring.
But I don’t think so. That makes me really sad.

And I love sports too much. Especially base baseball and football are my best sports.
I’m really crazy big huge fan of baseball. (k-league)
I like play football and baseball. But… I’m worst player.
I just like to move and spend time with my friends.
Frankly, my skills are not too much bad. Just normal
I really like join the cheer cultural because that short moment I can feel lot of feeling.

And last interest is travel.
When I start to write about my travel stories, I can write one dozen of lonely planet books.
For me, every moment was all my treasure.
I met so many good people and I can’t forget all memories.
when I talk my travel stories with my brother who from Brazil, we can’t stop to finish
for me, first travel just for English skill. But after time by time
I found my interest. And I made own my topic.
I have really huge interest about poverty.
(education system, hygiene, disease, working condition, women rights and discrimination.)
You know, still now, over 40% people live under discriminate and bad condition.
That’s why I every time go there and try to see. Why because I want to make issues.
But I still need studies about this facts. Because too big pictures. I can’t understand and find answer. But important thing is I’m not hero. I’m not person who rescue them.
I just normal student and just who have interest this part. Why I emphasize this.
Because during my travel, I saw people who work in developing country but he or she are easy to ignore developing country’s citizen.
You know, if I born in developing countries in poor family, maybe I also live same as him or her.
But I just lucky to born in my family, that’s why I did this. I’m not obama I’m not Van gi mun.
But I’m the one who live under huge luck.
