About Me

I'm a person who keen to seek new adventures and experiences with pure curiosity. Through time, I learn that my quest for searching is for the journey and the experience in different phases of life, and sharing to the world.🌎

Friends and acquaintances regard me as a person who have a big heart, always spread positive vibes and willing to offer a hand when they are in need, and feel comfortable when staying together with me.

Now when I grow up I get to know more about myself and looking for ways to transform my self-limiting beliefs and fears. I like to find inspiration from interesting stories about people, places and the mystique of how the universe connecting all of us. Hence I have decided to take a gap year to explore myself more and gradually let go of my inner ego and fears.

I discovered that I always lean towards role that encourages innovation and creativity despite I was somehow bound by social norm where it nourishes my desire to learn diverse knowledges and grasp wisdom to expand my perspectives in life.

One Interesting Thing About Me:
- I look extrovert on the outside but an introvert in fact🫠

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've read a book relating to a brave Malaysian traveler, a lady's CS experience in Middle East 8 years back then. That gave me a first impression about CS but I wasn't truly understand the concept yet.

Until my own CS experiences in Taiwan and Vietnam few years back then, it cheered me up when people welcomed me with kindness and warmth! It will be interesting to learn more about the hosts and travelers' lives and exchange stories. Of course the plus point is saving some money along the journey!

"A Temporary Pause"

This urge of connecting with the world has been hibernated since I had resumed an ordinary life in a corporate working culture and the spark of passion gradually faded away.

"Revisit"

It's been long since my revisit to CS website in 2024 and I would love to rediscover the fun of traveling with Couchsurfing once more!

It just makes travelling so easy with CS and know new buddies and cultures from all around the globe!

Experiencing CS and exploring the world would definitely be my YOLO event and there will be definitely more to come!
