About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, living as many lives as differently as I can- next station Asia 2010

ABOUT ME

Update: I have moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand since January 2011 and currently moving to Singapore. Can't change the address yet due to CS verifying system.I have traveled most countries in Europe and Middle East, and lived in Belgium for the past 2 years. Went backpacking through Europe 4 times, hosteling(wish I knew about CS back then).I love going to new places, meeting new people, experiencing challenging environments.I love the feeling of new, discovery, exploring. Routine gets me down, I get bored quicker than the average person.I am clean, respectful and have a good sense of humour.I try to take it easy and stay positive.

PHILOSOPHY

The here and now is all we hold through times of joy and sorrow.
We may watch fulsome years unfold -- or may not see tomorrow.
Be mindful of the moment. Pay attention to each one.
The past has fled beyond our grasp, the future’s yet to come.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had great CS experiences, both as a traveller and as host.
Definitely a whole lot better than staying at a fancy hotel.
I met smart, like-minded people this way.
