About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover and explore all the interesting places in my country

ABOUT ME

I consider traveling as a big part of my life as I find myself not able to stay in one place doing the same job for too long, and so I often hit the road to somewhere else for a day or two. I started backpack traveling not too long ago, and I have visited several countries mostly within the southeast Asia region. I like to discover more interesting places in my country, and also travel to other countries whenever I could to see the beautiful places and meet all the people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couch surfing. I can only host on Monday and Tuesday in Malaysia. While I will be in Singapore from Wednesday till Sunday, I have not been able to provide a place to stay at the moment in Singapore, but I hope one day I will be able to do so when I have my own apartment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am rather new at the moment. In 2011 I had a good experience in Hanoi going around with Tung but did not plan to stay in any CS-er place that time. In 2012, I had my very first surfing experience in Sydney, Australia with Tim. It was a great one.

I have not have any chance to host anyone at my place yet, but I have been giving information to several CS-er who came visiting my hometown Kota Tinggi. I hope I will be able to share more experience soon in the near future.

Interests

As a music instructor, I spend a lot of time playing the piano. When I can't play the piano, I usually read some novels, play some video games (PS3 and PC) and write my traveling story on my blog whenever I have.
Also have great interest in:
Scuba diving
Swimming
Hiking the mountains and caves
Growing the cactus
