ABOUT ME
Hello! One day in 2010, decided to travel the world for a while and from time to time and never looked back since. :) Went on an amazing journey including working in New York City selling hotdogs and burgers at Nathan's famous for 2 months, and traveling around Europe for 4 months while being an exchange student in Switzerland, and the journey has but only just begun!
I think I'm boring, but most of my friends say I'm a little crazy at times. I probably need some time to warm up to a person before being friendly and approachable, but in any case, it's better you think I'm boring first before meeting me so you don't have crazy expectations of me. :D

Signs you're getting addicted to Couchsurfing:-
1. whenever you travel to a new place, you log on to Couchsurfing group as soon as possible to find out who's at the same place at the same time;
2. even when you have a hotel booked in a new leg of travel, you still do couch searches (I really don't know why I do this, it's normal right? Please tell me it's normal, haha.);
3. you think everyone you meet in a new place is a potential friend-to-be;
4. even when you're traveling to a new city for as short as 1 day, you still look out for CS meetings going on there
