ABOUT ME

Hello there, I'm Nik, you can also call me Hanif. Just your normal average joe, nothing so 'interesting' one might say. Huge fan of nature and the outdoors. Love music. I appreciate the more mundane things in life, that scenic photographic memory you have in your head.Priceless.I love learning new things.
I havent actually hosted anyone since 2012 i think.

I'd love to go on a tour to different places of the world. I'd like to try new experiences, trading cultures and looking forward in meeting new people during my travels. My current interest is towards filming now and i've been writing and experimenting with all kinds of genre.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined on the basis that I'm currently Hosting for friends of another Couchsurfer in Indonesia. I'm keen to host more people in the future and also to surf in different parts of the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few people in 2011, most of them we're nice. I learned a few of their cultures and they learned mine. The funny thing about couchsurfing is when you take up surfers and they asked you factual information about your country, it comes to show you know less cause we dont tend to appreciate what's around us.
