Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I had a wonderful time surfing in France, and was very much grateful for the experience and would like to return the kindness by hosting when I can.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I also really enjoy meeting people from different countries/culture, and sharing our languages and culture. :D
Interests
I guess I am being a bit over-arching in my hobbies. I love travelling to different places, (remote areas are the best). I love soft harmonious and melodious music,but also dance music (for latin and smooth ball room dance). I love learning languages, I love photography, sports(mostly badminton), calligraphy, drawing, reading and writing. Above all, I love talking to interesting people and learn about the uniqueness of each person and thus learn about the wonders and mysteries of life.
