About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn about myself by experiencing the world

ABOUT ME

I'm Southern and Thai, which means I pride myself on being a generous and friendly person and, of course, overfeeding people. I spent the last few years of my life taking myself way too seriously, so I've recently begun enjoying being young and in my mid-twenties. Therefore, I must admit, I love eating, drinking, dancing, and many other forms of debauchery, but I also enjoy thoughtful and meaningful experiences that come from making a real connection with people. I'm always in pursuit of situations and people that challenge my beliefs, because above all else, I value truth and knowledge. I'm painfully aware of how little of the world I have seen and experienced, but I'm working on improving that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to Couchsurfing, but I want to become more actively involved, especially while I'm traveling in the next few months.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Like I said... I'm a newbie.

Interests

I love making connections with people with diverse backgrounds. I love cooking, eating good food, seeing new places, and finding new ways to have fun. I'm a voracious reader, but I'm trying to find more outdoor activities to enjoy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm kind of a blank slate. I didn't have a lot of opportunities to do or see things when I was growing up, but I'm trying to change that as an adult. But one of my favorite moments since moving to Thailand was watching a traditional Isan dance ceremony at Wat That Phanom before the Fireboat Festival in Nakhon Phanom. Really cool and amazingly beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share
