I'm an ENFP and avid learner of what happens on the other side/opposite part of the globe. I would disregard messages that don't look into my house policy and are not personalized; profile pictures without your face; non-newbie surfers without reference/surfing-hosting history. I need to see you in person then maybe I can accept your friend request.

To not become a 'typical tourist', because Couchsurfing is not Tinder, and come on let's admit that saving money is nice and life is about take and give as well as sharing and caring.

Teach, Learn, Share

I feel queasy if I convey on what I could 'teach'. The more you know, the more you don't know and learning never stops. I hope my good intent and my actions speak louder than my words or/and default facial expressions so that we can mutually learn.

I'm interested to learn more practical and beyond Duolingo-ese teachings of Deutsch and Francais. Also Mandarin, Nihongo beyond Hiragana-Katakana and useful Arabic (i can only read it with quranic tashkil diacritics).
