Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people to travel and explore with, to learn from and teach (if I am able!), and to converse with. I know many people are busy so I am also fine navigating on my own, and in thay case and just thankful for somewhere to crash, and more general tips or advice on a certain area.
I think I am pretty laid back and definitely a respectful house guest. I'm willing to help in any way I can. If I'm ever hosting, I can't say it is the most happening place in Saraburi!) I am willimg to show guests around and help them feel at home in my cozy studio apartment. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to the DMZ (demilitarized zone) between North and South Korea, and stood within a building that straddles the line dividing the two Koreas.

I climbed Mount Kota Kinabalu in one day (it was a bit challenging, but I would highly recommend it!)
