I am Bart from Malaysia. I love to eat, travel, know new friends, swimming (just started) and watch movies. I may be a bit shy at first, but if you know me better, then I can be really fun to mix around with.

My wife and I are staying in Penang Island, which is called the Pearl of the Oriental. Penang is really famous for its hawker food, wall arts and beautiful beach, and of course nice people.

I loves gardening and animals a lot. Because we are staying in apartment, there is limited spaces for those. However I have a small little farm at my balcony.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to know new friends from around the world, languages, food and culture.
