Back here on CS after not traveling since 2018! Met wonderful hosts while I was actively couchsurfing in 2017 and 2018 as I traveled to Norway, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Hope to meet great people here once again as I get back to traveling from Sep onwards (update: which I did!!!).

Some of my best travel stories often involved unexpected encounters with locals and travelers who were gracious and kind enough to shower me with love and care.
- I remember having my couchsurfing request accepted, only to be told on the arrival day itself, just before reaching the place, that it was my host's wedding day.
- Funnily enough, on my first night at my host's place, I was told her boss had invited me to their company BBQ in two days' time. Talk about deja vu.
- In another instance, I had managed to hitchhike from one place to another, only to be invited by the driver to stay overnight at their house since it was getting dark. And yeah, I did not expect to spend the night somewhere on a mountainside. (This almost sounds like the start of a horror/thriller movie)

Keen to always get to know more people from different cultures, backgrounds and maybe of a different, yet interesting worldview. And perhaps, people with similar interests too! I believe to travel is to not be a tourist but to be one with the community and the people.

I love art, music, movies, animation, books, and more recently, interior design and furniture. I'll share some of my favourite when we meet :)

Apologies in advance to the hosts as I can't cook though! Update: I'm planning to learn!!!

- 7 to 18 Feb 2024: Japan to meet friends I made during my Sep-Oct trip, and to watch Taylor Swift at Tokyo Dome, oops

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because it is the best way to experience a new country; from the locals themselves.

And most importantly, to one day, return the favour by helping other backpackers through hosting or what not.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Solo hitchhiking across Southern Norway for 23 days. 64 times in total. It was in fact my first time hitchhiking.
