About Me

Having got my bachelor, I packed my things and flew to Vietnam to become an ESL teacher. My current mission is to explore as much as possible. I seize each and every opportunity to see miraculous places and meet terrific people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the best way to explore the local traditions and people. Initially it seemed like a great source of saving money for a budget traveler. And indeed it was when I was a student. But now I know it's way much more than that. So many hosts have become good friends for life and I should thank CS for that.
