CURRENT MISSION

traveling around the world

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, meet new people and collecting and sharing stories from around the world. Best way to know me is through my friends and family, and what I have read, watched, listened to (check the movies, music, books section) and traveled to.

PHILOSOPHY

time and distance can always be bridged with enough love

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS is the best way to meet new "old friends" and sharing cultures with trust and less prejudice

I enjoy CS experience that allows me to experience first hand local lives and global culture at the same time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
