I'm a very positive guy, looks the world more open than ever after I came to the US to further my studies at Oregon State University. I am a very meticulous, passionate, and active person. I always put other people in front. I love to watch football, although not much into playing it. A proud Muslim!

I want to show the world that you can achieve anything you want if you believe in yourself. I want to inspire Malaysian youths to experience the world and life on two wheels!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't have money to book a room/hotel. I also really don't have anyone close to me living in the cities that I'm planning to sleep over...
Wait.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove 600km alone at night when I was 19 going to my part-time work place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Malay gamelan music (quite an expert since I have a job coaching students). I want to learn more about Americans and the places here. I would love to share any experiences!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My country Malaysia (everything from food (I'm a good cook), cultures, souvenir maybe) and my travel experience - how I got addicted to cycling, what I learnt from my first cycling feat to San Francisco (689 miles) in December 2015 and my second to Seattle in March 2016 (293 miles).

I can also share my awesome 2-months travel experience in Brazil, which I just recently finished for my summer break. This time cycled 780km to Rio de Janeiro in July 2016.

Currently doing my forth cycling expedition in Mexico, from Guadalajara to Ciudad de Mexico (600km). Wish me luck!
