About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know people around the world. The more you know, the happier you become.

ABOUT ME

As an ex-international student from the US, I found myself really enjoying talking to people around the world. I have befriended lots of friends there. This is really fun and I miss this experience a lot !! So come to me and let me use my English !! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first knew it when planning to travel to New Orleans and Atlanta. However, I was too paranoid about safety and whatever. After coming back to Thailand, I decided to join one CS meet up event and found that it wasn't that dangerous, and instead, was fun. Since then, I love to regularly join the meet up event and follow some other local events in Bangkok. The reason I like this is the international environment that I was surrounded when being in the US.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had hosted a few groups of people half a year ago. After that, I simply join CS meet up events and give some advise to travelers.

How to speak one language without an accent

===> When learning new language, you should completely blend yourself to the tone, grammars, accents or else. No matter how ridiculous the language in front of you looks, you must embrace all of them. Don't let your native language influence or distract you from the langauge. IMAGINE you are a baby, who imitates and follows everything your parents input to you.
