So about me, I never know how to answer that but here it goes:

I'm Richard! I have been living in Qatar for the past 12-13 years, I recently graduated from med school in China (I wouldn't recommend anyone to do it honestly,the med school part, China was awesome!) and no matter where I am, I'm always looking for my next getaway!

And If I would describe myself in one word, it would be a “wanderer”.

I wasn't always passionate about traveling, but when the travel bug bites you, IT BITES YOU. Now, I can't imagine living without the thrill of discovering new places, meeting new people, and trying new foods. Whether I'm discovering ancient monuments, exploring a bustling city, or relaxing on a quiet beach, I'm happiest when I'm on the move. No matter if it's a weekend getaway or a month-long trip, the experience is always worth it.

*Life motto*
It’s only when things don’t go according to plan that you have the best adventures.

I'm excited to meet fellow adventurers and share stories from the road. I promise you that I will be fully respectful, easy-going, friendly, and clean during my stay as a guest and hopefully your new friend!

Unfortunately I can't host right now:( I hope my living situation will improve soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have done my fair share of tourist-touring, yet my best trips were when I was a traveler not a tourist.
Now, I am fully ready to embrace the traveler frame of mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Woke up at 3 A.M in Manila to take a bus, then a tuktuk, then a 4x4, then an hour hike to see a volcano-turned lake called Mount Pinatubo.

Teach, Learn, Share

I embrace every opportunity to learn and exchange ideas with people of different cultures and diverse backgrounds.

What I Can Share with Hosts

While I might not be able to offer you diamonds or gold, I'm more than happy to buy you a drink (if you drink😅) at the end of the day and listen to all your problems and stories (I'm a great listener, all my friends vouch for me).
Or whatever is your free time routine, I'm happy to be your partner in crime from late night karaoke to Netflix binges, I'm down!!
