Hello. Konnichiwa. Guten tag. Salut. Mingalarbar. Jasmine here. I'm that jack-of-all-trades kid with a not-so-remarkable life so far. But by Jove, I'm going to change it!

I neither smoke nor consume alcohol. Also I play the violin, am a big fan of animals (no matter what kind), can cook and clean well, and am fluent in English. Anything I could do to return the kindness of my hosts shall be much obliged indeed ^^.

My closest relations (family and friends) often remark I'm quite quick at adapting. Although perpetually cynical and prone to a sarcastic disposition, I'd like to humbly instate my characteristics of being reasonable and generally collected at all times overshadow them.
I respect any and every race and religion. Peace among worlds. 🖤

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Yes, I don't have a verified Couchsurfing account, because I'm a university student from Myanmar, a UN-recognized Least Developed Country. I can't afford the $60 one needs to get verified.

I just want to see as many parts of this incredible world as I can while I'm still in my teenage years, without letting financial concerns bar my way. This is why I'm here in this community in the first place.
