About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sometimes we realize that we actually don't know the things we think we know or vice versa. So, I try to figure out everything what I really know and what I don't.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling and making new friends. If I am sitting next to you in a train, bus, flight, or whatever during a long trip, I am quite shy to start a conversation but if you take the first step, we can enjoy that trip a lot by having nice conversations about life, art, science, sport, politics, whatever you want to talk about.

PHILOSOPHY

"Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth." Mark Twain

Live before die.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first heard about Couchsurfing from my flatmate and we hosted different people when I was living in the USA. It was a great experience.

When I am a traveler, love meeting local people and spending time and sharing experiences with them; when I am host, love listening to adventures of travelers and teaching them local cultures and places. I always love meeting new people from different cultures and backgrounds. That's why I am on Couchsurfing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love animals so sharing the home with them and being their best friend... In return, they also became my best friends. Their friendship is really priceless.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about different cultures and languages. On the other hand, I can teach you cooking, dancing, and anything I know and you would like to learn :) I can also help you to understand my culture and/or language if you are interested in. Sharing experiences may help people to understand each other even they have different thoughts or points of view.
