About Me

Hi, my name is Mirna!

CURRENT MISSION

Fully enjoy life and travel :)

ABOUT ME

I live in Thailand (by the beach) and I love travelling. I haven't used Couchsurfing for a very long time, but would like to pick it up again. I used to live in Amsterdam and I've had so many positive experiences with hosting, surfing and meetups. Now i live in Thailand and would like to make some new experiences!

Long time ago I've been on a world trip for one year in 2005/2006. (Siberia, China, India, South-east Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Cook islands, California, Nevada, Arizona and Mexico).

In summer 2008, I went travelling for 7 weeks. (New York City, Vancouver and Vancouver Island, Japan, Hong Kong and Thailand.)

After that I did some shorter trips to Riga, Madrid, Lisbon and New York and Thailand again.

In 2015 I moved to Thailand and have lived here for 4 years now. I live in a beach condo in Na Jomtien, which is about 2 hours drive south from Bangkok.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy hosting and surfing! I love to meet other people and make new friendships. And I love to hear stories from all over the world. But due to my busy live it's not always possible...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only got very good experiences with our couchsurfers. They all brought a lot of fun. I surfed a couch once in NYC and it was a great experience. I knew the host already, because he surfed my couch first. Hopefully I will get some more surf experiences soon!
