About Me

I am a socialized introvert (aka. quiet some times but also can be quite friendly and talkative). I have a voracious love of reading whenever I have the time, talking to people about their culture and traditions, debating business policies, and just getting to know new people.

I enjoy get-togethers that can be something as simple as a potluck dinner to more energetic gatherings like music festivals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to share experiences and culture with open-minded individuals. I've travelled to different coutnries around the world and loved the journey, however, I'm now looking to be even closer to the local communities and learn even more. Tourist-ing it out and quickly snapping some photos in one place and rushing to another doesn't really fulfill my desire for a more personal and real experience much.

I hope to be able to host travelling surfers in the future once I get my own place somewhere in Bangkok! Definitely down to meet up and take some people around areas I'm familiar with though!

Just wanted to get it set off the bat that I'm not looking for hookups or dating, please respect that.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've enjoyed the cult book favorites: "The 4-Hour Work Week", "If I stay", and any thing from the "Goosebump" and "Chicken Soup" series. Very different titles, I'm told. :P

I listen to Thai pop musics, some Billboard chart tunes, and compiled playlists of saxophone jazz on Youtube.

A movie I loved, especially during my younger years, was a Thai one called "A Crazy, Little Thing Called Love".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I hosted a Thai Culture Festival in Brisbane, Australia. It was amazing! I've never had to speak and entertain such a huge crowd before and I was able to converse with so many people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic Thai phrases and share some cool psychology tips.

I would love to know some travelling tips about places that you've been and foreign languages if you can speak any aside from Thai and English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a mean, authentic Thai dish if I can find the right ingredients. Some of my main-stays are Green Curry, Massamun, and Padthai.

I can sing too...sort of? If someone would like to strum the guitar, I'm sure we can have a bit of the bonfire moment.
