PHILOSOPHY

try to help others at my best capacity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A friend introduced me to CS back in 2008. Never really get a chance to actively participate in it, but am now eager to try.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stay at a friend's house for a job interview in other town.
Spend the weekend staying at friend's place several time after sat-nite hangout.
Surfed couches at Bergen, Stockholm, Reykjavik, Akureyri and Stavanger during my 2018 Nordic trip, and hopefully more to come 😊

Interests

Previously I couch-surfed on someone I already knew, wether relative or friend.
Recently I tried couch-surfing during my Nordic trips, and the experience had been amazing, so I'd like to give back by opening my home to fellow surfers.

I am sure it will be an interesting experience as I can get to meet and make new friends of different background.
