About Me

Forever inquisitive, forever learning. Hi everyone! I'm currently working as a consultant at a local engineering firm dealing with -- well you get the gist. I delve into learning different stuff in my free time as a hobby of sort, such as programming, web dev, economics, and investing.

And of course, I love being lazy (who doesn't?!) and just surf- I mean sit- on couch all day long. However I do have a travel mode when I get out of my comfort zone, so I would really love to meet new people around and make new friends!

I'm originally from Malaysia and came to Minnesota in 2011 for my studies, now working a full-time job as mentioned in the opening paragraph but would like to get back to seeing the world a little more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been on Couchsurfing since 2013 but never had the ability to host since I rent and stay with my landlord...I'd love to meet new people and host them if given the chance to host. But this is currently the best place for me to save up and eventually be able to afford flying around the world someday to explore!

EDIT (1/6/2018): Felt like my sense of adventure has kind of lingered off after getting out of college and started working (I'm sure some people can relate) but I'm back and ready to try use this platform a little more!
