ABOUT ME

Love hanging out with new and old friends, exchanging cultures, discussing about anything like, religion, tradition, peace, medical system, business, politics, etc. I love to hear different point of view. Love playing with children and animals. Whomever I know usually say that I'm outgoing, fun, confident, easy to talk to, international, and crazy. They also mentioned that my laugh sounds funny and makes others laugh so that's my charm point. Let's laugh out loud with me!

PHILOSOPHY

Golden rule: Do something that you want others to do to you.
Napoleon Bonaparte
"The word impossible is not in my dictionary."
I like to say "Everything is possible"

Japanese Cartoon "One Piece" is my bible.
I would love to make a good relationship with whomever I meet like Straw Hat Crews! If you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend you to take a peek. I guarantee that you will like it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS event

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been to some CS events in Malaysia and the Philippines. Stayed in Taiwan and had a great time with an amazing host!

Interests

Meeting up with new people to exchange cultures! I love to do something local like go to a coffee shop, library, hospital, funeral, wedding, party, school, bank, post office, temple, church, mosque, etc that people usually do in life. So then I can see the real culture. I have actually been to a hospital and funeral in Thailand and it was a great experience to see the tradition, religious belief, medical system, etc. I also did origami (Japanese paper crafting) at the AIDS orphanage care in Thailand. I got to meet adorable kids and loving sisters. I like to go to country side!
