About Me

Born in the little island of Penang, a place where you can experience diverse culture, people and amazing foods of Malaysia.
Like to travel and started my first travel out of the country was to Taiwan few years ago. Since then, I have been addicted deeply in travel and planning trip for myself from time to time. I'm hoping that one day I could get off from desk and step on backpacking journey to explore the world, meet with local and learn their culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staying in New Zealand a couples of months for Working Holiday. A truly unforgettable experiences I ever had in my life, different living life and made a lot new friends from all different parts of the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

Language, Culture, Food. I'm still learning to make my cooking to be more reliable lol, but on the other hand, I think I'm quite a good baker. I could make some good desserts or cakes:). I'm currently learning some foreign language by myself with aid of learning apps, would like to have some practices with native people if you could forgive my broken speaking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Please note that I do not accept last minute request and three days maximum would be fine to me usually. Besides, this is not Booking or Agoda but is Couchsurfing so please do not misuse the platform itself. I'm working most of the time in the weekdays so I would only available to spend time with you in the evening. I would be glad to show you around the city and have wonderful conversations together.
