Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started my CS experience in Canada. I met a lot of nice and friendly people and became friends with most of them.
Like to share my travel experience. Always open for new stories or experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS is more than just sleeping on a couch. It's an opportunity to meet the locals, to share stories of life, to hang out with someone. To get to know a place in a different way than just being a backpacker.

Haven't done any couch surfing for a while as I was busy working. Now I'm back for more traveling and diving into other cultures. Currently I'm in Asia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are so many amazing things out there. It's hard to just name one...
Last year I was volunteering in Kenya and stayed at Mfangano Island for 3 weeks without electricity, running water wifi or any phone reception. Back to the roots. I had such a great time exploring the nature, being involved in the community and just live an easy life without any distractions.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my travel experiences. I love to cook. Would be great if we can share some traditional cuisine.

I want to learn more about the world and places I'm traveling to. I'm interested in the culture, lifestyle, work, food, nature...
