Born in Malaysia, Raised in New York for 20 years. Dads half Malay and Arab, Mums Japanese. Go figure ;)

So I am trying my luck and see where this opportunity can lead me when traveling. I don't wanna rely on this too much but it'll be a leap of faith in to the worldwide culture and especially the chance to create amazing moments while meeting people from all over the world. I love the outdoors, an adventurous guy ready to explore and would prefer walking cause obviously thats the best way to see the city. I love love animals :) I love running, running is what shaped me since the past years. From being obese to losing all that fat. I'm also into rock climbing and hiking as well. I'm outspoken, open minded and i can talk about many genres (religion, gaming, movies, TV dramas, quantum physics and etc)

If you plan to send me a message to come stay with me in New York. To those who don't actually read this part usually fail to get my attention. First of all i dont host two guest at one time. Only ONE guest. Please let me know about your lifestyle. I wanna know how you live. What diet are you on. What kind of background do you come from (religion, culture, race) I have a set of rules and i have things that i don't like and things that i like. Don't plead, don't find an excuse to just stay and then leave the house without a good excuse. My house is not a hotel or a storage area. I would like to get to know my surfers! I would like that my guest or people who actually plan to stay with me gets the idea.

**If we are able to hold a conversation and i feel comfortable with you. You're gladly accepted into my house. Don't try to hard, don't try to lie, don't be fake.

**Also note that i receive tons of messages in a day, if i don't get back at you, i deeply apologize for that. I'll try read it but i don't have time to write to every single one of you. Write something that will catch my attention!!
