CURRENT MISSION

To see Mount Everest and maybe climb a bit of it..(hey I know my limits)

Also, I want to backpack in Europe and dream to one day move there.

ABOUT ME

I am an English teacher by profession and just love to travel. Traveling puts me outside my comfort zone and I love the challenge of finding my way around an unknown place. I thirst for adventure and regularly seek adrenaline rush!

Now I live in Surabaya Indonesia. I used to live in Thailand for 3.5 years. 3 years in Phuket and 6months in Bangkok. I love Thailand and can speak thai.

I love Muay Thai but can't afford to pay for training. Sad about that but oh well... I can introduce you to Muay Thai gyms in Bangkok and Phuket. I trained at Buakaw's gym before and at Sitsongpeenong Phuket.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
