Why I’m on Couchsurfing

New friends. New experiences. And because I am a writer, maybe meeting you will be a great story in my next book!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled with my parents to Europe. Just the three of us.

I took Turkish class in Istanbul for 2 and a half months, for the sake of my interest in learning languages.

I've done rock climbing, abseilling, kayaking, flying fox.

I've experienced driving all the way from Melbourne to Sydney.

I travelled Indochina by land.

I flew to Jakarta just to meet my favourite author Andrea Hirata in person.

Solo travelling.

Volunteering.

I've written more than 10 books + ebooks.

And all these are still not amazing enough for me. YOLO!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a writing trainer so I can share with you my writing techniques.
