About Me

CS is NOT a sex app. I *WILL* report you and leave bad reference i detect creepiness from you.

Do not demand my attention.
If you ask, or imply anything sexual. And I tell you to go away. I WILL WRITE WHAT YOU SAID ON YOUR PROFILE. So don't text or tell me any of your opinions on sex that you don't feel ok being public on your own profile.

If i say NO it just means NO

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started showing CS folk around, I was told I should be a tour guide...and then I became one!

Let me make it clear. I want to help travellers, in exchange for the help I received when i travel. No other reason. If you make me feel unsafe, I will stop replying you. I will leave a reference.

List of great people I've met:
- people travelling japan by bicycle, who don't even care if they stay in dirty places
- an architect who could explain japanese buildings
- people who really live the nomad life
- someone taught me chess,
- some people helped me grow confident in hiking
- many helped me see the things i take for granted
- strangers i never met showing up on time, commited to do the activity or event and being nice and normal

But I am not all roses and joy I am honest, and i will also tell you bad experiences i had:
- people who don't commit, flake, and don't communicate about showing up. This is incredible. Like. 30min after the event started, you ask where we are? REALLY...?
- people who insist on making me teach them a language!!! Give it a break and just communicate like a human!
- people who never lived in singapore telling me i'm "not a real singaporean"
I quote: "you don't speak chinese? But everyone in singapore speaks chinese! Are you really singaporean?"
- another quote, different person: Japanese women wear loose clothes. They don't have a lot of curves but I wish they wore tighter clothes because I want to see their figure!
- different (western) person: keeps texting me in chinese, i reply in only english.
- people who are pushy, demanding, entitled

我的中文不好。如果你英文不夠信心我會盡量用中文 but i am a couch SURFING member not a cHiNeSe tEaChEr

I still remain on CS because i want to be open, and meet these great people that have been so inspiring. :) overall i say
25% of the time it's worth it,
25% rude people who waste my time but are physically harmless
30% creepy
20% very dangerously creepy (sending me into panic mode, seriously do i call the cops)

But i know that's life. CS or no CS rude and outright scary people are everyone. At least with CS the % of inspiring people is higher!
