Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To explore the world cheaply, one couch at a time!:-)
ABOUT ME
(I am not so keen on getting verified since I believe that references left behind by my previous guests are stronger evidences of who I am)
I'm a free-spirited person who likes adventure .I like to travel...I don't mind travelling alone but if I can have at least one of my closest friends with me, it's much better. I hate people who can't even laugh when times are tough...very serious people gets into my nerves easily!
I am an advocate of work-life balance so if I can have fun at work, I do so even if my work can be too serious at times. Of course, not at the expense of my job.
PHILOSOPHY
If it feels right then go ahead so long as you follow the golden rule....do not do unto others...karma is a bitch!
families and friends are very important to me...I can serve them selflessly...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Just to meet exciting people from all walks of life and different parts of the world...
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted so many couchsurfers in Amsterdam. Only good things to say about the couchsurfers I met who are also now my friends.
Interests
I love nature...so anything that will bring me closer to it keeps me high! this includes a little bit of trekking,beach and more beach!, snorkling, etc.
I like to party as well...so clubbing is something I do once in a while.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like reggae, r&b, world music and good old ballad songs.I don't read books...other than technical stuff I need at work.
Movies...I do love movies! I'm a very visual person. I like the suspense thriller kind but when I need to de-stress myself Adam Sandler and Zoolander are my only medicine.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have jumped from a waterfall (20m) even if I can't swim.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like to talk and share about world culture...I always believe that misuderstanding and conflicts are rooted to the very simple fact that one party is ignorant of the other's point of view.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can cook, travel stories, ins and outs about my city Amsterdam, basic about wine appreciation
(I enjoy debating about politics, world affairs, etc but only if you want to :-))
