Hello, my name is Chhayhout, (chai-hoot), yes teas and owls are my favorites. I studied Architecture and English in university. To be honest, I have not so much luck with Coachsurfing, I would really want to experience once living in someone else’s house, and I’m looking to make a life long connection and return the favor when you visit Cambodia.

I can speak, Khmer and English fluently

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing new events in my volunteering.
Finding eccentric people

Interests

I’m very interested in Music. My favorite genre is Dream-pop. Right now, I’m also really into French Electro, something like Toi Et Moi by Paradis.

I love psychological films, it would be fun to go watch some non-mainstream films in an independent cinema.

Unique gifts for my friends. Something to remind them of where I’ve been. River rocks, seashells, postcards, small little thing from places I’ve been

Cool underground clubs or parties. It tells a lot of a city or town in the nights, where people are less pressured and more easy-going and the night is dark and quiet.

Experimental living autonomous living - a live not bound to supermarket and just paying bills. I would like to build my own house, with a vegetable garden and things that respect the Earth. Having a small paradise

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have eaten Tarantulas ? :/

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking. I know how to make a delicious Sweet potato cake since I came to France, and I can give you the recipe and show you how to make it.

I can also teach you to make great Asian-Chinese food. You wouldn’t wanna go to restaurants and get rip off afterward

I’m also very interested in Arts and design. I wish to work in a textile and homeware design sector. It would be great to get some knowledge on being a designer in Europe.

I can share you my Language, Khmer. It has the longest Alphabets in the world! It has a beautiful scripts
