I am an extroverted introvert person (can be very chatty but also appreciate quite time and personal space) with a little OCD (like things to be clean and tidy because I am allergic to dust, nothing major... I just sneeze non-stop!). Sometimes I can be forgetful (unintentionally) and I am using this reason to take a lot of selfie! Some may find me aggressive and my rhythm of speech can be loud and/or annoying. Well, this is me :)

I get along very well with animals especially with dog. Before coming to UK to pursue my course, in my home country Malaysia, during my free time I have done pet sitting (dogs) and dog grooming. I have a Facebook page for my pet sitting work https://www.facebook.com/Pet-Sitter-1383805408541330/?fref=ts

Current status: I am a Malaysian but currently living in UK as a student and working on some part time job. Will be travelling and start working on my PhD proposal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A traveler told me "you don’t have to be rich to travel well"... then he shared with me about Couchsurfing and my immediately respond was "Wow! this is a cool community that I want to get involve and be a part with".

I am new in this community. Upon joining, I have opened my home for hosting but there were no request. Hence, at this moment I have no hosting experience. I do hope I will have the opportunity to do so in the near future.

We help each other to save on the main travelling cost i.e. accommodation so we can travel and see more places, meet more people and experience more cultural exchange rather than merely a commercial exchange for stay.

Be it a host or couchsurfer, the exchange of information, knowledge and experiences is unique and invaluable!

Interests

I am a curious traveler, I love to travel to explore and experience new places because it leaves me speechless and makes me modest. Having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world, it create journeys into my life, brings me power and love back into my life.

I love yoga and diving because it brings peace into my mind. I also like paragliding but at this moment I have no budget to take up the licence but is blessed to have experienced tandem paragliding :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did not do well during my high school years. I am glad that I was able to go to university as a matured part time student and then recently completed an MBA as a full time student with Durham University Business School.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Marketing Communication, Consumer Behaviour, Classical Ballet

Learn: Life is a non-stop learning process, so many things that I would like to learn!!!

Share: Malaysian cooking, Asian culture and Languages

What I Can Share with Hosts

My knowledge, experience and culture and contribution to some house chores. If you have pet at home, I will be more than happy to walk them and offer lots of hugs and kisses :) or even groom them (if you have the tools).
