Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been part of the CS Community for more than a decade now and I am happy to say that I am one of the lucky ones to have received an Old School Vouch badge from the older versions of Couchsurfing. I miss Groups though - not sure what happened to that feature after the site revamp.

I’m now based in Hong Kong - living here for more than 8 years now - but my Cantonese is still rusty! I rarely go on CS these days. I blame adulting, netflix and the corporate jungle. Haha. But when I do, that means I’m being nostalgic! I’m gay, loud and proud because love is love! Big hugs to all lovers of diversity, equality and inclusion! 🏳️‍🌈

Hosted in Hong Kong, Bacolod and Manila. Surfed in Taipei, Phuket, Bangkok, Hanoi, Saigon, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Colombo, Jakarta, Depok, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Denpasar. Had a collection of beautiful experiences... Quite unforgettable actually. Hope to see more CSers in my future trips. :)
