Overview
About Me
I love traveling to Asia. I also like to be home and do things such as watch movies, listen to music, read books and work on cars.
I also enjoy helping people, especially people from overseas as I have lived/worked in hostels and have lived overseas.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have heard about couchsurfing and wish to do that as a guest when I travel overseas. This would give me a chance to meet local people and to experience the unique things different cultures have to offer that I'd never get a chance to see if I stayed in other forms of accommodation.
With this in mind I think it could be fun to be a couchsurfing host also so that I can be a better guest when the time comes.
I think it would be awesome to get to know a particular place through people who actually live there already, like my own local guide... :)
