About Me

CURRENT MISSION
been more helpful in the society , doing voluntary which includes interpreting and translations for the community.

ABOUT ME

Am a fun loving,easy going person who wishes to travel the most I can before I get more older and be dependent on others to travel. I love seeing new places and that is the reason why I am now travelling alone. Have been working very hard for sometime but now it is about me enjoying a little , while I am still on this earth.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is to be as helpful and kind as I can be to another person , no matter how small the action may be. Also to live an honest life without being a nuisance or a burden to any one.

Music, Movies, and Books

Interested in all of these but difficult to be specific about it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

How the direction system works in Costa Rica with no house numbers! the postman delivers letters 100 metres to the South , 375 metres to North East from a special land mark - most amazing how people locate houses .

Teach, Learn, Share

It is important specially as a CS to be polite, responsible and considerate of those who seek a couch. Once you offer your couch but later on have to change your offer or even cancel, it is highly decent and respectful to let the guest-to-be informed so as not to let him/her down at the last minute. This allows the guest to search for another couch or even go for paid accommodation and learn the culture differences with the time spent in the country. Here I am speaking with the recent experiences I have had.
