Hello! It's a pleasure to meet you.

You can call me Che Man. I run a small family bakery in Semporna, which has been a cherished part of our community for over 30 years, since the 1980s. My journey also included five years of active advocacy for stateless individuals, though I've currently taken a break from that to focus on business advocacy.

Now, I'm dedicated to helping locals succeed in their entrepreneurial endeavors.

If you come across any negative comments about me, please share your expectations before we meet; I value open communication.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Semporna is renowned for its breathtaking underwater views, attracting countless tourists primarily for diving. However, I believe there's more to discover beyond just the ocean depths. My friends and I have started using Couchsurfing to connect with visitors, aiming to share our experiences and insights about this beautiful region.

I’m eager to engage in discussions about music, movies, politics and social issues. While many come solely for diving, I would love to show newcomers the hidden beauty of Semporna and its vibrant culture beyond the water. Let's explore together!
