ABOUT ME

I am Patrick, a university lecturer in Nakhon Si Thammarat. I have just came back after 5 years of PhD study in Australia. I am currently working in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, but I am from Suratthani Province. So, it's not that easy to host while I am working at my university, but I might be able to host during the weekend at my parents' house in Phrasaeng District, Suratthani Province. So if you are interested, just texting me but you might have to be unplanned travelers cuz my time is unpredictable, and there's nothing special in my hometown. However, if you wanna see something real like locals' lives, it might have a good choice that you can have experience. Check out more infornation in my home session of the profile, and let all the references talking about me instead of myself.

Music: I was a singer in school since I was 5 years old and had been singing in a school band and faculty band at university until I turned 23. I still love singing, that's why I am a big fan of karaoke hahaha. I can't play music instruments though! I also love listening to music but I don;t know what kinda music I like! Just listen to it and I can tell whether I like it or not :)

Books: I like buying books but don't read much hahaha. Tuesdays with Morey by Mitch Albom is one of my fav :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a Couchsurfer!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't have something in particular to teach or share. However, I think everyone has something to teach, learn and share. Just open your eyes, your mind and talk to each other, then you would find out!

However, if someone would like me to teach something in particular, I might be able to help you learn basic Thai. I like languages, so it would be nice if we can swap the language lessons. I also like cooking (a lot), so you would be my student in the Thai cooking class if possible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My friendship!
If I send request to you, it means I read all of your profile and your references and I wanna meet you. And if I have a chance to be hosted by you, I would love to spend sometime with you, talk to you. So the things that I can share with you are my thoughts, my experiences, my passion, my dream and part of my life :)

I love cooking, and if I could find some Thai or other Asian ingredients that I could cook, I would love to cook some for my hosts. I am pretty sure that my cooking skill is quite good :P (PS This option might be impossible in some places that things are rare and expensive, so forget about it in that case :P)

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Portugal, South Korea, Taiwan

Countries I’ve Lived In
