About Me

21, someone who loves to travel but may not always have the budget to. Loves to plan but trying hard to live in the moment and keep things spontaneous. Really enjoy meeting different people from different places, because I believe everyone have something interesting to share that will open my mind and perception about this world. I also love photography (portrait, film, editorials), enjoy watching great films (usually something a bit darker in tone, possibly moody) one of my favourite is a short film called "L'accordeur" strongly recommend to anyone who are into similar genre.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but always travelling on a budget. I also prefer experiencing over seeing a place's culture. Would love to make conversations and exchange ideas and learn and witness what a slice of life is like with other locals in a new environment (:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job a month ago, booked a spontaneous trip to China.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am more than happy to offer great conversations in philosophy, exploring the relationship between human and technologies, discussing films, music, art. Would love to be able to make new friends and perhaps visit few galleries together.

What I Can Share with Hosts
