About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience as much as I can!

ABOUT ME

Well I kinda feel awkward to describe myself only in a good way though, to become an attractive coachsurfer this is what I should do. Yeah...I always admire world traveler and adventurer and always try to become the one. I love travelling and also I love to meet interesting people especially from other culture. Every time I have a conversation with those people, I feel energetic and inspired and...HAPPY indeed. When I share the story with people like me who simply cannot just be in home and always seek for the opportunity to leave, I feel like I am alive and really glad.

I graduated from the university just last year and I had worked in East Timor as a program coordinator in Korean international cooperation agency. I am definitely outgoing, sociable and love to tell story and hear them. I love drinking beer outside, love partying, and this is kinda ironic though, I love to talk about philosophy, history and foreign aid to developing countries.

PHILOSOPHY

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. by Steve Jobs

the dots that I can look back with smiling in the future might be YOU or might be my coach surfing experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard Cs first from my Portuguese friend. He advised me to do couch surfing when I go to Europe but at that time the concept of this website seemed so vague to me that I just forgot. Then when I met my friend in Seoul, he told me his couch surfing experience in Europe and I found it interesting. That was the start of participating in CS.

Now I am trying to hang out as many Cs as I can meet and I will definitely be a coach surfer in Europe soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some couch surfers and it was really nice to meet them. I haven't hosted someone or been hosted so far.
As I am planning to visit Europe soon(14th of June~), I expect to have a wonderful couch surfing experience to tell.

Interests

Tennis is the only sport that I can do so I sometimes do play tennis in my free time. What else...I also love reading books regarding development aid, Africa, travel essay, philosophy classic that I can at least understand what the author is saying. I don't cook but I love to eat. I don't play any musical instrument but I love listening any kind of music. Like most of people, I don't shoot the film, but I love watching it.
Above all, I love meeting interesting people and share the story at the same time share the positive energy.

I had spent half a year in Timor-Leste which is the poorest country in Asia. This tiny nation is located between Australia and Indonesia. When I was working there, I realized that I could actually help people out to live the better life. It was one of the amazing moments in my life.
