Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Met inspiring people in CS. :-)

Interests

Photojournalism/documentary photography, good music & Coffee. I love watching films but I prefer to do that alone because I tend to pause and rewind and fast forward quite a lot. It's probably because of my poor hearing, my bad eyesight or short attention span.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am currently learning German so I would love to meet someone who I can practice with.

I have many things to share. I design, photograph and write.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I haven't met a host who disappointed me. I'm down with anything - exploring places, learning local culture, interesting stories, new cuisine. I'm an introvert who can spend hours talking about anything. I'm not shy but I like doing some things alone.

Countries I’ve Visited

Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, United States, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In
