About Me

I am a travel-starved individual that has not gotten a taste of "outside" Asia travel since 2020 (ya ya ya, COVID. Ultimate momentum killer). The takeaway from me is that, I am a person that likes to learn about the little things of cultures that are very foreign to mine.

Terribly sorry about not being able to host as I've only recently bought a house that will only undergo renovation in 2025. However, if you host me, I will offer the following in return:-

- Respectful guest. My mom always taught me to treat other people's property with more care than mine. I've since taken this to heart and beat myself up for being neglectful;
- Insight talks about YOUR culture. My culture in itself is interesting. I come from a very diverse society (Malaysia is a melting pot), but..... I want my melting pot to have more flavour, so expect me to bombard you with questions about your culture's practices, history etc.
- Even more discussions about geo-political implications of YOUR country. If you want me to talk your ear out, host me, and you will never be starved of entertainment.
- Malaysian hospitality. We are famous for this and we treat our guests and esteemed friends very well.
- Malaysian adaptability. I grew up with an "anything goes" lifestyle and culture. Relating to the point above, if people are kind enough to host us, we must reciprocate with equal hospitality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I created this profile because I wanted to meet new peeps from all around the world. Never really got a chance to use it in 2018 sadly, and COVID has starved me of the ability to meet new people from beyond my region. I've only heard of this platform because of the reputation it has in connecting me with other people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ghibli Films, Hollywood Films, I hate novels but I like reading case files and case law (I am a lawyer).

Shawshank Redemption is God's Greatest gift to cinema.

Let's see.... I have a very wide taste in music. Aside from my local Malaysian artists, I love me some American hair metal bands, Kratwerk, weaboo Japanese music, city-pop and looking to venture into music from countries that I have yet to be exposed to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked Arthur's Seat in Scotland drunk on whisky XD

Teach, Learn, Share

Geopolitics, history (I'm a history geek), languages, cultural customs, love for cars and billiards. Also, I love to engage in banter and will like to use your country/culture as material. I'll also teach you how to make fun of Malaysia

What I Can Share with Hosts

See above. Don't like to repeat myself, see my about me for this, but I'll say this... a jolly good time, and if the space permits, sambal and kaya (if you haven't tried it, you're missing out in life).
