Overview
About Me
Few years ago I had this crazy idea that maybe I can move to the other side of the planet to study what I really love - graphic design. It wasn't easy but somehow I managed to really make it from Europe to Australia. Best decision I've made. It's amazing how much you learn even if no one is teaching you.
On my way home from Straya I spent a month in Asia - Thailand and Cambodia. Mesmerizing! I only spend a few months months in Europe and I was ready to move abroad again, to Canada this time. So here I Am now!
I'm a laid-back and easy going person, I like to hang out with friends and make new friends along the way (thanks CS), good times, shrimp on a barbie, you know?
Lots of things I've learnt the hard way when I left home to live abroad. All of a sudden I was on my own in a foreign country and the only person I could have possibly rely on was me. But it was worth it. The thing is, once you come home, there will always be this urge to leave and face the unknown again. I freakin' love it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing really helped me while living overseas. I've met so many cool people and many of them I call friends now.
This year (2016) I'm doing a road trip from Vancouver all the way down to San Diego with a friend of mine. We just had our very first couchsurfing experiences in Seattle and Portland and it turned out to be way better than expected!
When I come back to VanCity I will start hosting to pay it forward because this is so much more than just staying at someone's place; it's about the people and the experience.
