About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live for NOW

ABOUT ME

I am simple in a way and complicated in another way. I am open to every idea on the earth and i like to explore different minds and cultures. To me, being able to see things from different angles is so fascinating! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Do what i have to do then i can do what i want to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard of CS from a traveling book and i think it's great to be a part of it. I have been traveling to look for a vibe that interests me to settle down!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in Seoul and it was amazing. I didn't know it was that easy to find a host in Mexico. Next time when i visit there, definitely i would like to surf with a local host:)

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, movies like that or movies from an unfamiliar culture, say Iran. I am always keen on learning new things and new cultures!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flight delayed, landed in Oakland, CA, alone, late at night without the help of GPS, took two bus transfers plus 20 mins uphill walk, found my host's place, safe and sound. The next day traveling around San Francisco by myself and watched the night-view of Golden Bridge from the top of the hill. The moon light shined on the mirror-like sea surface, very beautiful and peaceful! The next day woke up at 6 in the morning and did two bus transfers without GPS again to catch the train at Emeryville, CA, but was told the train got delayed for three hours when i arrived... after that 51hours on the Amtrak by myself, from CA to Chicago, there were a lot of interesting people on the train, not only retired couples!:P It was really fun because we ate and drank together, talked and laughed as we have known each other for long, but once destination came, we had to say goodbye knowing that this might be one of our lifetime, to meet each other!

Teach, Learn, Share

CS offers a good platform for people worldwide to experience culture shocks and broaden their minds in a cheap but definitely a fun way! It connects people from every corner on the earth and gives us a chance to learn from each other in any possible way. To share, to give, and to take!
