- I love to travel. I've been around Asia, Europe and Australia. Stockholm is my favorite city.
- Like trying out new things and being adventurous at times (though have mellowed down a bit over the years).
- Sometimes I wish I could spontaneously drop everything, take off and travel without having any plans. I like the insane idea of not knowing where my feet and fate would take me; my itinerary is made up of random and unscripted adventures. Realistically, though--I tend to make plans, although not too much in detail.
- Hate clubbing. Chill-out bars are fine. But I hardly stay out late anyway. I'd rather spend time hanging out with my family, playing Monopoly or watching a kid-friendly movie with my niece. I'm a big kid at heart.
- Family is very important to me, my cats included.
- I have a particularly soft spot when it comes to animals.
- I'm a realtor by day and I fight off imaginary dragons at night. Well, some nights. Most nights I just read, watch movies or surf the internet.
- I realize I need to find a new hobby.
- I love old classic movies. Weekend late nights when everyone in the house has gone off to bed, is the best time to watch old classic movies. Especially if it is raining outside and the weather is cool; a nice warm blanket and a bag of chips or popcorn are essential items.
- On weekends, I like to check out flea markets and bazaars and meet friends for lunch/coffee.
- I would rather shop for DVDs and books than clothes. I love the smell of new books and the feel of crisp new pages against my fingers. Not a fan of e-books.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people and make new friends!

Am not able to host a stay, but can meet up for coffee/lunch/sightseeing tour of Kuala Lumpur (maybe, if schedule permits).
