Couch Information


Couch Available: Coffee or a drink
Preferred Gender: Any

My girlfriend Iris and I are renting a pretty big house near the India Embassy in Vientiane.

We have two extra bedrooms with queen size beds and warddrobes. They also have air conditioning.

We're both non-smokers so no smoking in or near the house, please.

Tuk-tuk's routinely come by and it costs about 20,000 kip to get to the center, or you can rent a bike and it's about 3km ride to the center.

Iris works evenings and weekends and I sort of work sporadically, so we're up pretty late these days.

As far as how long, I'd say a couple days to a week is fine. Anything more might be a stretch.

Personal Description

Laid-back consumer of all media - movies, books, and music. Generally just happy-go-lucky, I like to try new foods and have amusing conversations with people.

CouchSurfing Experience

When I was living in Prague, your bed was essentially all of your friends' couches. I think I spent more time sleeping on couches than in my actual home. And it was more passing out than it was sleeping, but still, good times!

Frank Black, Pixies, Jonathan Richman, Douglas Coupland, Tom Robbins, Annie Hall, Big Lebowski

It was very cool to share the Lao New Year together. We had a lot of fun throwing water on everybody who passed by. Thanks for your great hospitality, thats how CS should be. Thanks.
