About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get a lifetime supply of air tickets

ABOUT ME

If it pays to be a dreamer, I would be a billionaire by now. Of course aside from day dreaming, I love to travel, eat, headbanging to classic rock, and taking photos with my old film cameras.

I've been playing the electric guitar since I was 14, though due to work and other commitments, it hasn't got much attention these days. But I would love a jam! I've also been practising yoga on and off since 2013, not very good but I could teach some basics. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a Couchsurfer:
Whenever I visit a new place, I love to better understand the local people, their culture, customs and cuisine. Through CS, I've met some fantastic people and hosts from all over the world. Some of the conversations and experiences we've had have enriched me in my life and broadened my perspective.

As a Host:
Although I'm unable to host in Malaysia, do drop me a message if you like to arrange a meet up in KL. If you love local food, I can bring you to places only locals know. Even if I'm not free, I could offer you some tips/recommendations. Just drop me a message!
