Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was the member of Servas back in the 2000. Being the traveller of Servas, I have successfully brought my family for a 2 weeks long holidays in Japan. Staying with 6 Japaneses hosts for 2 days each, one of them, my children had even spent a full day in their child's school playing with the school children and we also met the school principle and teacher sharing the education of our countries and their differences. I enjoyed very much this kind of exchange experiences. Couchsurfing is similar!
There is a slight different of me from the mainstream Couchsurfer, I enjoy meeting the host for learning their culture and sharing our travel experiences, if they are inconvenient to offer "Couch" that is perfectly okay for me!

Interests

I enjoyed travelling, during my early years of my career. I have traveled around the world through my seafaring training years! Covering Europe (UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Italy and Spain) N America (USA, Mexico and Canada) and Africa (South Africa, Mozambique and Morocco). I have brought my family to Japan, Australia and New Zealand and to China for more than 10 times, covering most of China!
