CURRENT MISSION

Win a lotto and move to Italy! Then open a beach bar and make cocktails all day. And since I won a lotto, I don't mind if I make money or not from the cocktails :)

ABOUT ME

I am a travel junkie! I am seriously addicted to travelling and exploring on my own or with a small group of good friends. I have no qualms exploring on my own for I love talking and sharing experiences with people from other cultures. It feels like a privilege when locals welcome you with open arms and share their experiences/culture. Oh yeah, speaking of that, I love food. I am also a food junkie (food is part of culture!) I love to eat! And eat I shall and try all sorts of food I shall when I travel.
(Travel)+(good food)+(good company)=heaven on earth :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live to eat, eat to live. Live to travel, travel to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Get the locals' experience and help out other travellers whenever I can.

NOTE : I realize that each time I submit a post to MEET UP with locals, I would get so many "offer to host" me even when the destinations are completely different. Its great but at the same time I can't keep up with responding to everyone esp with those that just blindly sent me requests without even reading my profile. I respond only to those whom I feel comfortable with and are relevant to my travel. Hence kindly DO NOT send me requests to host me and then leave a negative review when I cannot even respond to all my mails.

Also CS is not a dating site. Please do not get the wrong idea when we chat each other up on the site. I am interested in travelling and cultural exchange and honest friendship. Thank you for understanding!

Interests

Meeting and hanging out with locals of countries I am visiting. Eating. Eating Eating. Partying if I have the energy. I enjoy simple things in life. I don't need to visit fancy places when I travel, I am looking more for experiences with local families/cultures. Sometimes eating and drinking, playing games with some random family in their simples homes of some random countries is better than going for a fine dining experience at the Four Season. My dream is to experience a traditional wedding in every country that I visit (not my wedding, others!). Friends and families are important to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Way too many amazing moments to list one down. Impossible. Every country that I visited bears so many precious moments - eg. samba-ing in Rio, clubbing in Buenos Aires, sharing a fishingman's joke with locals in Mykonos, swimming next to a 2000 year old castle in Naples, driving through Sorrento Italy in the middle of the night...etc etc. I always believe its the people that the memories special. A place can be beautiful but make no significant impression. But kindness and warmth of friends and strangers that you meet in your travel - those are moments that are truly special.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to salsa, samba and draw circles with your left hand and draw lines with your right hand simultaneously lol. I can show you photography techniques, photoshop skill if you like as I am a travel photographer. If you like, I can even cook some nice Malaysian food!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am not really looking for hosts but rather hanging out with locals to share experiences - good and bad, hopefully most good!

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, Canada, Malaysia
