About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet one person from every country in the world

ABOUT ME

I am 34 & live a great life. Often I feel lucky for the life I have so I enjoy paying it forward hence my willingness to provide a safe place for you to stay. Over the last 2 years I have had a great housemate but she has gone back to Singapore. Best travelling experiences I have had have been made so because I met a local person to show me around so I'd be more than happy to do the same but I do get quite busy during the weekdays. I want to travel more but while I can't, meeting people from different places is the next best thing.

PHILOSOPHY

Number one is integrity which simply translates to doing what I said I would do & honoring my commitments. Live and let live is one that comes to mind and I often wonder why can't we all just get a long. See I think that if you strip away the environment & the circumstances then we are all the same & seeking the same basic things that appeal to the "being" in our humanity. Deep I know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I have been a member for a while but just haven't made use of this great tool & now I think it's time that changed. I don't have a lot of time to host & currently have no car (temporary) but I do have a comfy couch in a cozy apartment which has public transport right outside & is 10-15 mins from the city or 5 minutes if driving. The place is two bedrooms one of which is a guest room. Those that have stayed have trouble leaving :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing yet but watch this space

Interests

It would be easier to list what I'm not interested in. I love sports (most) & physical exercise is how I unwind. I have little time to do much but I also really enjoy acting & have done some modeling too which doesn't come naturally. I like clean things & enjoy the path less explored.

Music, Movies, and Books

Good music transcends genre, good books educate & I really enjoy a wide range of films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a week being hosted by a Thai friend & really enjoyed learning about the Thai culture beyond the party scenes. Most beautiful people I know.

Also partied alone in Kuala Lumpur & met some amazing people in some odd clubs/bars.

Spent a week being hosted by total strangers & now friends in Addis Ababa & had such a wonderful time exploring parts of that city that a tourist would have no knowledge of. Loved it.

Teach, Learn, Share

He/She who says they can or says they can't are both right. Attitude changes perception & defines your reality.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Comfortable Queen size bed with bedding, clean living space. Kitchen is open & my guest can feel free to use anything.

Always happy to bring those staying to my social events. So far so good.
