About Me

I consider myself a free spirit who wants to experience different culture and see what we have in the world. Decided to leave my comfort zone and ordinary life three years ago to adopt a different lifestyle. Will like to find a place that I can live semi permanently. I am easy going, respectful, clean, mature, nonsmoker non alcoholic, vegetarian, yoga practitioner, nature lover. Started my long term travel without end day, hope to see and walk through the world, and hopefully able to find a place that I would love to spend the rest of my life staying, once I established a semi-permanent place, I promise I will host couchsurfers to the best of my ability!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have started a multi years journey, starting from Central and South America, to Africa and Asia, enroute to Middle East and Europe in the future. I had always stayed in the hostel but started using couchsurfing. I am NOT here to just crash someone's house for a few free nights, I really want to experience the local, finding local hosts to see the more genuine and local side of each place I visit, also meeting interesting and fun people; I am also fascinated by interesting stories from different travellers. I am not a party person at all, I believe in human connection and similar vibes that lead to good in-depth conversations.
