Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everything was fabulous.

Interests

Volunteering - I live to volunteer and live by volunteering. I believe this kind of experience is like a fast-speed ticket for improvements, experiences and endless knowledge and lifestyles.

Photography - including to digital I love white and black photography on film. I photograph, develop the film and pictures by my own hands.

Moving pictures - I've always enjoyed watching movies, tv series and even animated stories. For some reason other's peoples creation fascinates me.

Music - listening to all sorts of styles and playing some instruments as well.

Reading - who wouldn't want to live in a different reality from time to time?

Computer - slight programming or design, a frequent user for sure.

Nature - being in it, exploring it, learning to know it better.

Health - trying to survive in this centuries economy, studying, exploring, becoming wiser.

People - Stereotypes are so out of fashion. There are so many different types of people with all sorts of ideas and experiences out in the world that interacting with them has become a very interesting interest.

Culture - even the words says it all, there's so much to see in the world and yet so little time.

Fashion - the none main-stream! Just something that pleases the eye or expresses ones' personality.

Pedagogy - passion after volunteering is to become a teacher, so everything I do and experience is for the future of my students.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music interest to commonly known ones includes Asian pop-and-rock music and anything away from the public eye. Going to concerts can be seen as an hobby. Love watching movies in general and also love reading books - be it on paper or digital ones. To movies I like series and as they are called in Asia - Dramas. But I can enjoy different things from classical to innovative.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the thing still in my memory - Worked with special needs people in United States and must say, it was a wonderful educational experience and I'd love to do it again soon.

Another challenge I've done is -
I don't travel much but so far I've lived in 4 different countries other than my motherland. I plan to experience the world as much as possible at least until I'm 30. The time is ticking!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn absolutely anything and everything that I have experienced, I can share. Not so easy to pin-point down the skills, they will come out in discussions I am certain! However I do believe I can learn something from everyone I meet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a listening ear and open mind.
