I believe travel is such an important aspect of life. To experience different cultures first hand means to be able to gain a perspective we would normally not have in the comforts of our daily routine. I am so thankful for having the opportunities of being able to travel in this way. Solo travel has become something that has revolutionized my mind and brought about an independence and confidence in myself that continues to grow daily. I love meeting people and having great conversations. You always learn a little bit more about the world and about yourself at the same time.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I want to meet people and hear their perspectives. I believe that anyone can can affect your life in a certain way. I truly feel that the exchange of words, ideas, thoughts with new people is one of the more enriching experiences of life. It is important to me to experience the authenticity of interaction, especially with locals in places that you travel to. Your youth and life will never be given back to you, might as well do what makes you happy.

I got to travel earlier in life through the kindness of other folks willing to take me in, share a meal, and help guide me. This is my way of paying it forward to all of those folks who put their trust in me, and all those folks who spent the time to have a conversation to share their philosophy and teach through their experiences in life. This site has introduced such a beautiful concept to me that has changed my life.

Interessen

My biggest outlet for art at the moment is photography. I love taking portraits and if you are interested in seeing me work, you can visit my website www.sinweng.com or my instagram @sinweng_

I love drawing, creating, dancing (salsa 💃). Being outdoors and connecting with nature is a beautiful thing. I am an avid listener of music, and I especially enjoy live music. I also enjoy traveling (as everyone else on cs) and really partaking in sustainable and conscious tourism. One of my dreams is to be able to ride my motorcycle all the way down to the tip of argentina. I'm not too sure how or when but it is one of the biggest things on my bucket list. I am currently trying to learn spanish. I really love language and being able to communicate with others in every way. What languages do you speak? Please respond to this when asking to stay at my place ;)

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I camped right at the cliff edge of the grand canyon.

Spontaneously shaving my head in Amsterdam with the help of a couchsurfer. I let go of my long hair that I have been holding on to for a long long time. It made me realize how much I held on to this idealized idea of conventional beauty. I was afraid of letting go something that I always hid behind.

This courage to recognize comfort and complacency pops up often in my life. Learning to let go of material things and live a minimalist life is something I found myself doing after donating most of my material possessions to travel with just my backpack. Those kinds of prolonged solitude and travel really changes you as a person.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach anyone how to longboard, take professional portraits, paint. I can also help with French and English if you are learning the language. I can share my story, and maybe we can exchange a deeper understanding of our place in this world.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I can share the English language, as I am certified to teach English as a foreign language. I am a great listener as well with a wide range of music that I love to listen to.
