About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I understand being on a tight budget + wanting to see/do/eat as much as possible. Travelling is the best + favourite constant in my life. Likeminded souls I’ve come across happen to be travellers. Providing safety + giving back hospitality to others is the most satisfying in ways words cannot properly describe

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything is good! For movies, romcoms + TV series, sci-fi (Trekkie) but appreciate most everything … except for Friends. Never understood about that series .. it boggles my mind 😹

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Humble bragging opportunity… and I am completely blanking! Sorry! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Teach, Learn, Share

Yearning to learn, teach + share about anything + everything I’m able to with my host/guests. Let’s discover what makes you feel at whole + go from there. Perhaps we may know of another way to do something that makes a task, life, much easier to navigate… such as the quickest way to put the duvet on the comforter! Or folding fitted sheets 😂

What I Can Share with Hosts

Raised Issan + American; can teach/cook Thai/Lao + paleo dishes for you as well as assist in cooking, cleaning, secretarial/assisting work you may have around the home or even for work. There is a secret to making rice fluffy on the stove top!

I am an Interior Designer who loves to organise, clean out areas you’ve been struggling with, rearranging furniture/decode .. name it! Back home I am a remodelling contractor for residential + commercial spaces. New construction has always been a fancy of mine 🥰

Simply enjoy helping others out so much. Connecting with likeminded humans is what makes me feel whole. If I can enhance your day in any means, even a smile, you have already enhanced mine. Helping others gives me perspective in life. So if you need a hand, here I am!

** I am known to snore awfully loud 😳 that is my only concern when accommodations may be tight or hosts are light sleepers
