About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel full time and have met so many amazing people so far and can't wait to meet more! Still quite new to the app but given I've been traveling for more than 3 years now, I've spontaneously hosted several travelers before and being a guest as well

Interests

I love all things creative and all things active. Currently my focuses have been fashion design and aerial sports. I use Instagram to showcase what I'm working on creatively and where I'm traveling so feel free to check it out: @karxu8

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are countless amazing things so I'll keep this updated to the most recent one I've seen - which is accidentally and serendipitously spending the Balinese new years (a silent day with no lights on the island) in a small local village in the northern side of Bali, Indonesia.

As far as done - not one thing exactly but more so the range of creative things I've dabbled in, from woodworking, 3D printing & laser cutting, steel welding, interior design, graphic design, fashion design, sewing, handmade jewelry, resin work, ceramics to home decor hacks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been a digital nomad for 3 years now and recently left a big tech company in America to start my own business - so I have a lot of stories and experiences to share. Also if there's anything you want to DIY in your home, I can help you figure out a creative way to do it! I've done it before on couchsurfing and it was a ton of fun to brainstorm cool hacks for around my host's apartment.
