About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying every moment in life!

ABOUT ME

Other people describe me as friendly, easygoing, patient, open minded. I am a better listener than talker. Mostly introvert but glad to be sharing when I get to know somebody better.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all connected so follow the Golden Rule - treat others the way you want to be treated..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed in Europe and South America and I hosted few people. Both hosting and surfing always have been great experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While in Spain in July 2011, I had my first three "couches" (well, it was almost better than my own bed), I stayed with great people, shared some good wine. At first, there was still a lot of tourist in me, wanting to do sightseeing as much as I could, but the people were so great that next time I spent more time with my hosts.
Ever since, I met more great Couch Surfers - as they say, it gets better with practice.
