Overview
About Me
I beleive in simple living. In this fast pace world that we live in, I hope I will not be too consumed by capitalism and materialism. To own less, means less time required to maintain things, and more time to enjoy the company of those around us.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Walter Mitty: To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life.
Interests
I enjoy physical activities and welcome a game of squash any time. I run to keep myself fit and mobile and all ready to carry that trusty green backpack of mine when I travelled. It can get quite heavy sometimes :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I took a 4 months unpaid leave from work in 2011 to backpack and see the world. Unfortunately, 4 months is too short a time to see much. The world is big and have so much unique experience to offer that I wish I have more time and $ to travel more and keep going. Getting lost, meeting new people, overcoming language barriers, trying new food, trekking over hills and mountains are all part of the package.
