Why I’m on Couchsurfing

WHY I AM HERE:
Definitely, because I love to travel. And I realize that CS is a mixture of cultural exchange to help people travel cheaper, safer and further. It's my dream to travel as much as I can (target to Asia, then EU and US later) before my last breath =))

MY CS EXPERIENCE:
Unfortunately, I'm unavailable to host at this point of time. But I'm willing to help out surfers by showing them around my hometown or simply a food-tour if you are kind of foodie surfer (just like me, eh?)

Interests

- I love to travel in any type: climbing on the mountain, swimming in the sea, learning new culture or taking part in harvest seasons.
- I love to seek new food experiences, don't mind to try strange food. Though I can't cook, but I'm good at clean up stuffs at the kitchen =)
- I enjoy visiting museum, places or just sitting somewhere outdoor to read a book.

Teach, Learn, Share

- I'm willing to help out travelers by showing them around my hometown.
- I'm willing to pick up people from the airport or the bus station, whenever I can arrange my time, because I know how hard it could be when you are in a strange place for the first time.
- I like learning about other people's experiences not only in traveling but in their point of view, everyone has an interesting story to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- A small gift for host(s) which suitable with their hobby upon arrival =)
- It's my pleasure to treat host(s) at the local restaurants/ food courts.
- In case we eat at home, I'd love to learn how to cook and it's my responsibility to clean up afterwards.
- Help host(s) to clean or repair stuffs or anything as long as it is not crossing my comfort zone or illegal =))
