I just cant stop myself from smiling all the time... 😬It doesnt mean that I want to show-off my beautiful teeth (though I cant deny that I have nice one 🙈). It is just my natural way to express how much Im interested and excited to listen to your inspired stories, to see and experience new things. Im also willing to prepare my own mask to cover my face if my non-stop smiling annoys you :(

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Previously, I thought that living with someone was a little bit inconvenient and uncomfortable for both parties. I used to not encourage my friends to do it for their safeties as well... I just didnt prefer it, hmmm, lets say, I hated it.

But I was wrong...

✨"When you HATE something, you CHAIN yourself to it" - Dr. Steve Maraboli ✨
... and this quote happened to me, haha.

When I was in a project in Berlin (Germany), I had to live and share ONE kitchen with 20 different colleagues from 18 countries, share the bedroom with a British guy for 2 months. Apart from that, during a month of living in Barcelona (Spain), I used to live with an old Spanish woman who couldn't be able to speak English... I thought that it was the harsh punishment for my hate in sharing the living with others. At the end, these punishments gave me 'rewards' which were much more valuable than anything I've received. They are friendship and experience :).

When I go to other countries, I want not only traveling, but also EXPERIENCING. My above 'punishment' helped me to realize that living with local people could make me experience the culture to the fullest. As a result, I decided to 'punish' myself more by creating this CouchSurfing's account and start new journeys with new friends (as hosts) :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 12 years old, I saw my mom and sis suffering from the poor, saving money so I could go to school. I cried. I blamed myself. And I promised to give them a better life and take them to travel around the world...

When I was 25, I made it!
