About Me

If I'm not flying drone, I'll be riding electric skateboard/unicycle.
ABOUT ME

I am a pretty neat and clean person and I respect others to be the same. Very much involve in the extreme activities such as mountain climbing, white water rafting, bungee jumping and scuba diving, and very soon sky diving. Love to play soccer but haven't got much time lately. I swim and weight train to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Straight forward person with no beating around the bush drama.

There is one thing I despise the most which is getting stuck in traffic jam. That said, anything related to waiting be it in the queue or late comer, be sure it has to be a very good reason. Most of us do not like to wait for others, so please do me a favour by being on time both parties agreed on.

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself and always learn to appreciate life. Be kind to people and mother earth. I follow Swiss time so please be right on time. Or at least try to be on time.

Okay, there are too many free loaders request coming in. Due to this, your chances of being hosted by me would be pretty high if you have already hosted other couchsurfers. At least 5. You would need to have the 'taste' of being a host and how it feels like accepting surfers. If you are a newbie, please complete all the necessary details required as colorful and creative as possible and make sure to read couchsurfing terms and conditions. Yeah, pictures as many as possible would be great!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is such a wonderful program for those who are seeking travel experience the local ways. It would be great if you could read about the culture, tradition and belief of the people whom you are going to CS. Nice people are always welcomed. Fun and crazy people but have their feet firmly on the ground are highly welcome. Do reply when requesting for couch (even though you have found another couch)

Please send personal couch request.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a great host in Yogja, Indonesia and would love to meet more great people from around the world. Please allow some ample time if you request for a couch. I think 2 weeks ahead would be just nice. You may request for last minute couch. I may be able to host if I am not too busy.

I host more than I surf. Most couch surfers were really nice travellers. Many times it's the people who gave the best experience.

Malaysians are generally quite warm, hospitable, friendly and inviting. Mostly speak English or at least understand.

When you are in a foreign country, many things seem unfamiliar especially the words on signboard. It's crucial that you write down, key it in your phone/tablet. It can save a whole lot of confusion when trying to communicate on location.

Teach, Learn, Share

Massage, tour around KL city, dine in some local food stalls

What I Can Share with Hosts

(I wonder why most couchsurfers don't fill this up. Please be a real traveler and do your part in keeping the CS spirit alive. Most hosts don't expect anything in return but they would be very happy if you do! I'm not going to suggest anything here but be creative and think of something)

I'm quite a handy person so if you need some cleanings, carpentry, plumbing, wiring, design ideas, etc I will help you out. I can cook few Malaysian, Italian, Japanese dishes and bake cakes and cookies. Shortbreads are my specialty. If you need some good rubs I will pamper you with my unique massage techniques.
