About Me

ABOUT

In Bangkok at the moment.

I love islands! I have been living on islands for almost 10 years. Started from Hainan, Taiwan, to Thailand, Singapore, and now back to Thailand.

I was director of Bangkokyouth magazine. I spend two years with this ‘magazine baby’. And I’m still proud of it. :)

I love nature and all sorts of outdoor activities. A am also a travel blogger. Will share the page when we meet:)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had a great first time couchsurfing experience. I really love the way how people are connected through couchsurfing.

Interests

All different kinds of sports. Well, yoga 🧘‍♀️ is so far my favorite. I have been practicing since 2015 and i give yoga classes to friends some times.

I love rock climbing 🧗‍♀️ and I obtained my rock climbing instructor certificate earlier this year! Outdoor rock climbing is one of the best things in the world.

I do some surfing 🏄‍♀️ and wake boarding, which I am not so good at. But I really love them and I’ll be good at them one day!

I love diving 🤿. I got my OW diving certified in 2018. And I really should go diving more often!

I love cycling 🚴‍♀️. The only thing I can wake up at 5am for is to go cycling with friends.

So now you know why active I am.🤣
