About Me

My interests are diverse. Now I spend most of my free time in hiking and scuba diving. have hiked at Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa and Kinabalu, the highest peak in south/ east Asia.
have been to scuba diving in Philippines, Sabah, and Okinawa. seen the beautiful marine life such as thresher sharks and white-tip sharks ( oh! i like sharks anyways!!) but the best part of scuba diving is that you hang out with friendly local people and u are free from the cities!
also like those lions and leopards when i went safari in Tanzania.
Big heart for animals. That's why I'm vegetarian.

The meaning of traveling for me isn't just taking pictures or shopping but to meet the locals. learn and experience the local culture and share each other's stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i have tried SERVAS and airbnb, both are great ways to meet new people and experience the different culture. I don't just see the country but also meet the people. i really appreciate the time i spent with my hosts and we keep in touch for years.

however, i have never tried CS yet so i think why not giving it a try? I always have to try new things anyways. hope my first CS can be successful :-)
