I'm open-minded, enthusiastic, easygoing, caring, empathetic, curious and positive.

I like people. Talking to people and exchanging stories/adventures/experiences are always inspiring. Everyone is unique. Through different conversations, I am always surprised how much interesting stories everyone can tell and encounter in life, it's fascinating.

In 2016, the year of changing. I realize that I can dance and become a CS host/surfer. Through LindyHop workshops as an incentive, I can travel locally and get to know a city/culture from locals' perspectives. The purposes add on traveling are much more meaningful ever since.

On the other hand, I'm pretty aware it's more a consumer's role than a provider I'm standing on currently. Due to the circumstance and rules of my rental place, I cannot host people neither CS as I wish. But as an alternative return, I'm sharing the CS idea among my friends with "sparing a couch for a good will". Hopefully it can be in favor of other travelers.

My interests are very broad, I like to explore and experience. Not only loving dancing and traveling but also like cycling, hiking in sunny days; Activities that are involved with nature and people; Being a listener of your stories; Hanging out with old friends and enjoying the time with family; Seeing from locals' eyes of the relations with design/food/music/history.

I have talked a lot.
How about your story? Tell me more :)

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I have heard of CS all the time from my friends who love traveling. After the first time of my hitch-hiking trip from Holland to Switzerland with one of the most experienced hitch-hike friend, I deeply felt that allowing to have trusts in strangers is so genuine and beautiful. It's direct, honest and reflective. The power of believing in someone is so effective, as sharing a good will with people who are in need - I would say it's one of the keys to make the world a better place.

If I have got a spare couch, I host.
If I have got nothing, I surf.
I hitch-hike, also pick up hitch-hikers.
