About Me

Due to my unfortunate financial problem, I recently moved back to my parent's and thus no longer have a place to offer. However, don't hesitate to message me when you're in town and looking for a friend. I'm more than welcome to accompany you to a tour around BK, visiting all the tourist traps and all. Also I'm always up for a movie/ coffee/ afternoon walk/ book-hunting/ whatever random stuff we could come up with. Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because nothing is more fun than meeting new friends from a different timezone (and just to say goodbye to them in like less than 24 hours after :/ )

Interests

Lots of things....arts, music, books, films, traveling, food.... I love cultures and the beauty lies in the differences among people.

Music, Movies, and Books

All kinds of music...indie folk, experimental, rock, electronic, jazz, soul, R&B, shoegaze, downtempo and so on. In short, I like music A LOT. Some of my favorites are Radiohead, Foals, Bon Iver, Alt-J, Alabama Shakes, Rhye and James Blake. This list is going on forever.

Little Miss Sunshine, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Fall, Forest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption, LOTR, Amelie. I'm pretty into quirky, unconventional movies (also quite a huge fan of Wes Anderson), but I really love watching movies in general. It might take hours for me to list all of my favorite ones!

You're talking to a massive book geek here. ASOIAF, Broken Wings, The Illusion of Separateness, The Alchemist, All The Lights We Cannot See and Harry Potter series are some of my most favorite books of all time. I like everything from YA, Crime, Sci-fi all the way up to Poetry and Magical Realism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2000 I went to Australia and ended up staying there for a month.
In 2006 I went to Iceland and ended up staying there for a year.
In 2008 I went to Japan and ended up staying there for 4 years.

I "motored" at the first, second, third highest motorable road in the world.
I saw an active volcano in Indonesia.
I tried lamb testicles in Iceland.
I conquered the highest peak in Thailand.

etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an origami master (according to myself), so I can teach you a thing or two about this awesome paper art. Also I can teach you all the messed-up, uber rude words in Thai just because. And then Japanese...OK alright I think I can teach you some basic Japanese as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

(Isn't this a bit redundant to the above section? ) Anyway, of course I can share with you some of my travelling stories....just some.
