Hello! My name is Apple. I am half Thai and half Spanish but born in Los Angeles, California , USA. I am American by birth but otherwise a polyglot cos I grew up in a few countries.

I live in Bangkok, Thailand with my elderly mother and pets. I enjoy living in Asia the most and i have planned that I will be here permanently if possible.

I am passionate about volunteering to help street animals. My priority is sterlising them so no more unwanted babies are born. Thailand does not euthanise street animals. My job is cat and dog "wrangling" (catching) with nets, darts and traps for sterlisation. After that, i return them to where they are fed and the local people take care of them and they have a good life without reproducing anymore unwanted babies. I do this alone all night almost everyday and my family pays for all costs from our own money and donations.

I enjoy to travel when i am free. I usually try to do international traveling once every two months. I enjoy foreign culture and eating foreign food. I am a pescetarian since 2000.

My future goal is do as much traveling as I can and marry a foreigner! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make friends with people around the world & learn from travelers and hear their stories, good and bad, and hopefully learn from them!

Interests

I enjoy watching & playing sports, mainly tennis and soccer and baseball

In terms of music, i am a J-pop fan probably cos i grew up in Japan. I am a big fan of B'z and Fukuyama Masaharu (福山雅治 ) and Ozaki Yutaka (尾崎 豊 )
