About Me

Management consultant jumping head first into the startup world. Maximizing the gap in between to explore the world. Bilingual with slight geeky extroverted tendency towards strangers.

Overall obsessions: Musicals, Asian history and soup dumplings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To understand different ways of life and views on life and relationships as a working adult. Be it, struggles or triumphs, it'll be nice to understand a different perspective.

History - For real life country/family feuds
Musicals - For a more theatrical way of life
Hiking/Kayaking - Forms of exercise I can tolerate

Hiked up the tallest peak in Malaysia despite being physically unfit.

Volunteered at a social neighbourhood in Lisbon, Portugal

Lived right next to a genocide museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for 2 months

Teach, Learn, Share

Cultural differences between both countries. Argue about which country have the best food. Opinions on recent world developments. View on friendship, relationships and life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food and company. Pretty much an open book looking forward to test the boundaries of human relationships.
It could be a good night out with drinks or a night in with games and conversations.
