About Me

I consider my self a coffee addict, night lover, I like living life. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Anyway, to save on accommodations, I couch surfed. In fact, I only checked in twice. I know staying with strangers in unfamiliar territories probably isn't what most sensible people would do, but since I wasn't exactly a sensible person, I dared to do this. Though it's pretty ironic to say, I even felt more secure staying with them. Of course I exercised a lot of caution here, but in general, it was such a fulfilling experience. Interacting with locals helped me understand the place and their culture better, and I earned new friends. After all, I read somewhere that there are no strangers, only friends you haven't met yet. I couldn't agree more. Though I did encounter a few creeps, in this world, there are good people and bad people. There are good and bad strangers, as well as good friends and bad friends. You just have to be vigilant enough to tell them apart.
I was also able to spend less money on food because most of the time, my hosts insisted on treating me and also I'm the type of person who can go on a day eating only once. But don't be like me okay? Eat, eat, and eat. Travelling definitely is an energy-draining activity and you need as much energy as you can get.As for my clothes, I actually brought a sachet of laundry powder with me and just washed them when I had the chance.
