About Me

I spent my early working years in advertising as a graphic designer, and at some point I also taught in a private school as visual art and physical education teacher. At the moment, I run a small business of selling homemade burgers everything made fresh and from scratch.

I enjoy doing sports such as weight lifting, hiking, surfing, snowboarding, swimming, kayaking but I grew up playing badminton, tennis, table tennis, squash and basketball.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to Couchsurfing by a friend I met while backpacking in New Zealand and she introduced her Couch Surfer friend and that's how I jump onto the the CS bandwagon!

Interests

I am always fascinated with food, I love food! Spend few times a week lifting weights at the gym. I love to travel whenever time and budget allows me to. I fell in love with snowboarding while backpacking in Middle Earth (New Zealand). I surf a little too during the wet season here in Borneo. During dry season, I enjoy hiking and kayaking as I am very much a nature person. I love the smell of fresh outdoor air and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I love to talk about culture and exchanging ideas.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy watching anime and reading manga. My childhood favourite is Dragonball and Macross. My favourite section in the bookstore is usually the cooking section. I can spend hours just reading about different kinds of food that fascinates me.

I also enjoy watching movies. I'm into romance, sci-fi, actions, comedy and also indie movies.

I listen to R&B, blues, hip hop, kpop, jpop, indie, jazz and bossa nova.
