CURRENT MISSION

Getting lost in foreign places among strangers doing about their own things

ABOUT ME

Intellectually and culturally curious; just naturally fascinated by new ideas/knowledge

PHILOSOPHY

Trust is hard to build. As either a surfer or a host, we should be very careful in our approach to ensure the balance between warm hospitality and awkward intrusion. And the key to that, I believe, is honesty, straightforwardness and cultural awareness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My family and I have been unofficially hosting people who are friends of friends from all over the world. So this site makes our hospitality more organized and open

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been lucky to be hosted by a few very friendly European locals when I traveled there the first time in 2013. Been trying to pay it forward ever since
