I am letting three other couch surfers help me write my profile, because I am in a pub in York on a spontaneous trip since hosting them for the last 3 days. My favourite one of them is all of them as they are all from different places with awesome things to offer. I found out about Couchsurfing from my best uni friend and current housemate Maz who couch surfed at 17 yo and now she wanted to give back to the community. My next trip will hopefully be somewhere I’ve never imagined visiting and a fantastic Couchsurfing experience!

A Thai, an American, an Estonian and a Finn walked into a bar....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m looking forward to meeting famous people from all over the world. Kidding, I’m actually looking forward to finding my soulmate. Kidding, I’m actually wanting to meet cool people from all over the world. Also I would like to expand my appreciation of the world and get to know it at least a bit better, which I believe leads to knowing myself better too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing in the past year has been growing into my own skin since moving to uni in UK alone (I’m from Thailand). I’ve had a pretty sheltered childhood (my parents mean well) but the phoenix is rising from the ashes. Now I think of life as a role-playing game and I just have fun and exercise my freedom and creativity with it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
Jenni thinks: Teach how to embrace new experiences
Monte thinks:The easy answer is Tennis, I’m actually amazing at it!
Joonas thinks: 7 step easy guide: How to leave your family on the other side of the globe

What I can teach actually is: Tennis! I’m actually undergoing level 3 tennis coaching qualification but I’m going to acquire it (if I pass it tho) in May 2020! And I can also teach how to draw portraits :)

Learn:
Jenni thinks: How to stay away from dodgy Estonians and Americans;)
Monte thinks: What do you have to teach me? ;)
Joonas thinks: How to feel comfortable with nudist lifestyle

What I wanna learn: Guitar and/or singing would be much appreciated! My knees go wobbly when people play guitar and/or sing XD, and if you could teach me recipes dear to you I will be thankful forever cause I just started cooking this year. I would also love to travel more in the future so learning about travel stories would keep me up all night honestly

Share:
Monte thinks: My ability to get things off the top shelf without a ladder.
Joonas thinks: My ability to put things on the top shelf without a ladder
Jenni thinks: Apparently ability to get things off the top shelf without a ladder

What I can share: hahahha love what my mates said 😂 (the way we wrote my profile is that they write it first and I read them and add “what I actually...”) yes I’m quite tall but I’m sure I can offer more but I’m still thinking about it.. maybe you can suggest something? 😂

What I Can Share with Hosts

Monte thinks: My ability to drink copious amounts of beer.
Joonas thinks: Whatever is on the top shelf...
Jenni thinks: apparently whatever is on the top shelf...
