Just a student with an undying itch for travelling - I like being on the move, dislike planes, so expect me on the road a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to understand how people live, and listen to their experiences and share some of my own. I find languages fascinating, and try to pick up a few phrases in any country I go to.

I'd also like to introduce some people to Malaysia as they introduce me to their country! There are so many undiscovered places in the world, and every interaction binds us closer together.

Interests

I like wandering around markets, picking up language phrases and food food food.

I'm always on the move; trekking, hiking, or just walking - need to remind myself to slow down a lot! Trying my hand at photography/video photography, but the results still leave much to be desired.

Music, Movies, and Books

Electro Swing and Jazz

The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Spy, The Descendents, Arrival, What We Do in the Shadows

The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Artemis Fowl, and a bunch of geography/political/economic/history books that would bore most people

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked on an iron ore train in Mauritania.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share the languages I know - Malay, Mandarin and English; I suppose I can blurt out some entry-level economic, political and geopolitical theory. I am always up for a conversation on politics, society, etc.

I have not much to offer, in all honesty, except some experiences, a slice of my world back home, and *maybe* one good joke (maximum).
