About Me

Warm hearted adventurous soul
I’m a third culture kid with outgoing and adventurous spirits, the kind of person who wants to discover every corner of a country. I love detours, spontaneous plans, and the kind of chaos that somehow turns into a good story. I can be a little crazy (in a good way), always up for adventures — but I’m also grounded and serious once the laughter settles. If we get along, don’t be surprised if I casually ask, “So… would you be up for a spontaneous hiking trip to the Himalayas or Madagascar?”

I love exploring places that make you wonder “Why?” and conversations that start light and somehow turn philosophical. I like being challenged by different thoughts and perspectives — it helps me grow and see the world beyond my own lens.

I am deeply dedicated to my work in making the world a better place through economic development. I’m fascinated by how countries transition from lower- to middle-income status, and my long-term goal is to contribute meaningfully to that journey of transformation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in sharing what I have and opening my space to others, because sharing and giving make me happy. Meeting new people while traveling taught me how easily strangers can turn into meaningful moments.

Most encounters may seem temporary, like passing scenes — yet I like to believe that not all meetings are accidental. Some are quiet coincidences, some are small destinies. Couchsurfing feels like a platform where those moments are allowed to exist.
