I am a humanitarian public health specialist and an occasional cook. Sane, sorted, courteous, friendly and humorous at times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been hosting and stayed with wonderful people from all over but not via Couchsurfing, well finally I get the chance to register. I believe Couchsurfing is not just accommodating people for 'free bed' but it is one of the effective platforms for people to be exposed with others from different backgrounds considering our widening gaps in term of cultural stereotype, misunderstanding and stigma and lesser one-to-one communication and personal connection. I have met a lot of wonderful people all over and truly believe we have a lot to learn and discover from each other so that we can become a better person and the experience is definitely priceless and life-changing.

Interests

would love to get to know other cultures, people, food and livelihood. I have absolute passion in humanitarian works and traveling to unsung parts of this world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Orchestra, cultural performances, sci-fi movies, and books; from technical, health, motivational, cookbooks and up to novels - impossible to list them out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Providing humanitarian aid to people in need. I am not expecting anything in return, but to be able to see them smile is worth all the efforts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can provide some information on cultural diversity, local taboos, local place etc. If it happened that you come during my free time, I'd happily cook for you authentic local dishes and bring you places! Or if you need some privacy, by all means.. :)
