Hi, I’m Thao (Alice)! I’ve been a Couchsurfing member since 2015, and this amazing community has brought me incredible experiences and friendships that have lasted long after the journeys ended. I believe every encounter has the power to shape us, and I love connecting with people who are curious about the world and open to sharing their stories.

My Travel Journey
I’ve been fortunate to explore 15 countries across Asia, Europe, and Oceania, and each destination has left a unique mark on me. Traveling isn’t just about ticking places off a list; it’s about diving into different cultures, tasting new cuisines, and getting to know the hearts behind the homes I visit. My bucket list is still growing, and I’m always excited about the next adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to meet fascinating people from all walks of life. There’s something special about learning firsthand from locals and fellow travelers, whether it’s about a hidden gem in their hometown or a perspective that shifts my worldview.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I love sharing stories from my travels—both the hilarious mishaps and the life-changing moments. I can also teach you a bit about the cultures I’ve encountered, some travel hacks I’ve picked up along the way, or even how to cook a simple dish I’ve learned on the road!

Learn:
I’m always eager to learn something new—whether it’s about your culture, your hobbies, or just your perspective on life. If you have a local recipe, a skill, or a favorite spot to share, I’m all ears!

Share:
I can share my travel experiences, recommend off-the-beaten-path destinations, or simply exchange laughs and meaningful conversations over a meal or coffee. I believe sharing stories and moments is what truly connects us as people

What I Can Share with Hosts

Whether you’re hosting me or just meeting up for a chat, I bring an open mind, a love for good conversation, and a lot of curiosity. I’m happy to share travel tips, stories from my own adventures, and maybe even a home-cooked meal if you’re up for it.
