I'm an ex student in management school. Now starting a micro business in making and selling chairs and lamps.

I'm quite open minded, ask deep questions, and a very good listener. I like to hear and learn from other people's life experiences, and I'll share with them mine as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has given me the chance to meet strangers and spend great experiences with them and eventually become friends.

Interests

I'm starting a different life and job here back in my hometown, and my current interests are mostly related to that job: experimenting with materials such as wood, concrete and plastic -- but still, at its early infancy. However, sometimes I still do some of my past interests such as wandering around the countryside and swimming.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in the UK for 1.5 years. One of the most amazing years of my life.

Converted a 20ft shipping container into a house -- with the help from others, of course.
