About Me

Open minded, laid back, logical thinker, explorer, sentimentalist, honest, truthful, and an occasional clown.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet travelers from different cultural backgrounds, and it is always interesting to look for a different perspective from others that are distinct to mine.

Interests

The innate explorer in me is always curious about theories, ideas, new places, cultures, languages, food, and wants to experience as much as I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

Due to the copious amount of reading that I have to do for work, I'm afraid that I do not read for leisure. This is one thing I hope to improve on in the near future.

As such, most of my entertainment is derived from watching television series and/or movies, especially science fiction.

Finally, trance music is life for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee Jumping - Bali, Indonesia:
The was the place where I experienced my first bungee jump. The jump was 45m/150ft, I was so enthused that I did 2 different jumps, back to back.

White Water Rafting - Bali, Indonesia:
In the same trip to Bali, I also had my first experience white water rafting. It was a fun experience, but never had the chance to try another site.

Bungee Jump - Macao:
This was where I experienced my second bungee jump, and this is the tallest one in the world at 233m. It was a breathtaking sight to behold, as my jump coincided with the sunset.

Hiking and Cliff Diving - Koh Tao, Thailand
This was quite an interesting hike which eventually ended on a secluded beach, and an abandoned resort. The beach was quite rocky, but did have rock formations which allowed for cliff diving. Whilst it was not that high up, it was my first experience of cliff diving.

Alton Towers - Stoke-on-Trent, England, United Kingdom:
Rode the Smiler twice. The Smiler is a rollercoaster which has 14 inversions, and holds the world record for most inversions on a roller coaster

Country Antrim, Northern Ireland:
The scenery on the northern coast is a spectacle to behold. Nothing more than I can say, go check it out!

Scuba Diving - Malapascua, Philippines:
Scuba Diving to see thresher sharks, I was really lucky to see 2 about 10m away from where we were. These are majestic creatures. A bonus was seeing a Devil Ray jump out of the water when were on the way back to shore.

FujiQ Theme Park - Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan:
Rode the Do-Dodonpa ride which accelerates from 0 km/h to its maximum speed, 180 km/h, in 1.6 seconds.
Also rode the Takabisha which has a record-breaking 121°, beyond-vertical drop.

Teach, Learn, Share

I honestly believe that these three concepts are not independent of each other.

In any given situation in life, we are constantly learning new things or re-learning old ones. At times, this can be ascertained when you are teaching or being taught, and the experience of sharing encapsulates this notion.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my life experiences, travels, and my culture.
