Overview
About Me
I have been on my world tour since 2022. Lack of desire disqualifies me from the country racing game so I spend a good amount of time in each country and enjoy it.
The first time I used couch surfing was Nov 2023 when i visited Bangladesh. It really opened up my travel horizon. Now I try to couch surf when possible.
Travelling is more than just sightseeing. To meet people, to learn cultures, and to see the real life behind touristy scenes, are what travelling is about for me. I saw many stunning views in the past, but in the end, the most memorable experiences were with people.
After being on the road for a while, i gradually shifted from a tourist to a traveller: trying street food, striking conversations with locals, tasting authentic homemade cuisine, exploring local transportation, and meeting like minded travellers and hosts. CouchSurfing is a perfect platform. The way I look at couch surfing is not just a place to stay free, it's more of a way to experience genuine, authentic local cultures and life. I'm a believer in the equality of give and take.
I prefer to visit less popular places and travel like a local. As a minimalist, I travel in a simple way. I'm often a travel agency of my own.
I love cats, but I'm allergic to cats dandruff so if you have cats at home with a carpet floor, it's deadly to me. Please kindly let me know.
As for the friend request, please do not send me one if I haven't met you before. I appreciate.
I'm a believer of a true couch surfing spirit: culture exchange. Let's keep this community safe and fun. Look foward to meeting the like minded people.
Happy travels!
