About Me

Update:
Unfortunately I'm unable to host for the time being.
I hope you will be able to find another host.

----------

I'm a teacher in Phnom Penh. I moved back Cambodia the beginning of June 2023.
Currently I work long hours each day Monday to Friday. I'm not at home from 7am to 8:30pm.
Thus it's a bit difficult to host during the week.

Over weekends I'm usual busy with housework, errands or just relaxing at home. Sometimes going out to explore abit.

I'm willing to host you and do my best to accommodate you if you don't mind me not entertaining you and accept my place as is.
Please be understanding, kind and helpful.

I would say I'm (mostly) a friendly guy :), though I'm not one for parties and lots of people and noise.

Though I might at times seem a bit reserved and introverted, I do enjoy meeting new people, warm up to them and share traveling experiences.

I'm was back in Namibia since June 2021 after spending time in Thailand and Cambodia from 2019 to 2021.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is away of 'travelling' for me while I am not able to travel; by hosting travelers from all over.

I'd like to travel again and would like to make use of friendly CS hosts' couches too then :)
