About Me

CURRENT MISSION

gather some crazies with me and conquer asia within the next 2 years! who's with me?

ABOUT ME

Just another wandering soul, I have an itch to roam around the streets at night. I wanted out since I left high school. I left my home to study abroad. But that's just an excuse to explore a new land. So far, I'm an addict that needs new company. Meeting new people is my drug, exploring new spaces is my desire. I'm a hoarder, I have an obsession, I like collecting things, right now, it is the experience of travel, people, food. Will you be part of my exquisite collection?

PHILOSOPHY

It's pretty much now or never!
Procrastination is a disease, the mentality of "i'll do that next time/tomorrow" is probably the worst kind of all. Why not now? Why leave it till tomorrow? So let's do this and live the moment!

Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back!
I used to be the kind of person that did not give a damn of little matters that doesn't concerned me, now I've realized I was missing out, ALOT! I'm learned to care about the little things that does notreally seem to matter and always try to learn a little more from day to day.

Also, the one thing i learned to give a little more thought about is to live and open mind. Troubles may come and go, things may not seem as they are. I guess in the end I always look forward to the positive sides of things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a number of surfers in Brighton over the summer 2013, however at the moment I am pretty much on the go. I've met a few surfers in Brighton, Paris, Iceland, Toronto, Edinburgh and loads more. I love the idea of couchsurfing mostly as a platform to meet other travellers. I find that once we've travel, it changes our perception of people and the world. Language is just a small barrier between different cultures. So far, it has all been a great life changing experience!
