About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Continue searching more jokes around the world.

ABOUT ME

Born on Southern Island. Floating is my favourite hobby.

At High School, went to the far South. Then, at University, I tried the far North. Spent sometime working on a Caribbean island. After 2 years in Nepali village, "the Black pearl of Asia" started the african chapter in Kampala, the pearl of Africa. Then being drifted to Znz in Tz and ended up in Kinshasa, DRCongo.

"Desperately optimist", as friends say.
My life is like a big joke.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to think negative.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had difficulty to host my ex-colleague, then we surfed together in my city.

Starting slowly, but met amazing people. Hoping to meet even more exciting ones, so now my couch is open.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time was surfing in my city even before becoming a member. Second time was in China. I even plan the trip after seeing nice photos on CS. I advice NOT to put amazing photos if you don't want to receive too many guests!

Interests

funny and interesting conversation, floating, diving, dancing, good music, and doing plenty of things.

  • dancing
  • cooking
  • travelling
  • scubadiving

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer Bollywood to Hollywood in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

too many to write in this tiny box...

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to play music, including Caribbean steelpans. I learned a bit of traditional Indian dance, and practicing African these days.
I look very local everywhere in Asia. I don't get ripped off, or at least I have never noticed. So maybe I can share how to manage without paying tourist price...Now I am thinking how I can look more African.

BTW, I am qualified Thai masseuse.
