About Me

I like to take good quality pictures, meet people and experience different cultures and traditions as well as savour delicious delicacies.

I use a Fujifilm X-T4 camera and a Mavic Air 2 Drone for my passion for photography, and do all kinds of sports. I absolutely enjoy eating (who doesn't) and cherish those little moments of life with family and friends.

To travellers and soon-to-be-friends intend to visit Brunei, I recommend to have a host/guide to maximise your 'Brunei' experience, and what better guide than a local to show you around this nation of hidden treasures. It will definitely be worthwhile and by making your time staying here count, I assure you; you won't be disappointed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always been fortunate to be guided and helped by locals at every country that I have visited, and I would like to provide the same. To meet people as well as guide travellers visiting Brunei and be a friend.

There is something unique and powerful in listening to a traveller's stories and adventures. It's always interesting and I find it amazing how much that I can learn from someone's travel experience, cultures and traditions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flew 13,000ft solo using a PC-7 (Turboprop aircraft) in a evening, seeing the sun sets above the quiet clouds and said, "Beautiful....life is so beautiful, thank you for this opportunity", then dynamically did a Knife-edge spin aircraft maneuver dropping like a stone and leveled back 2000ft.

What I Can Share with Hosts

• 🏞 Visit to "Don't-miss-this" places
• 🎆 Experience Brunei culture
• 🍛Local food-hunting (I hope you love food)
• 🏡Secure and a safe place to stay (100% good sleep)
• 📸 High Quality pictures (Instagram worthy 🤣)
• 🎤 If you like to sing, I have a karoeke-mixer set that makes your voice beautiful
• 😎 Perspective, I might have the answers for your questions, and if I don't, I might know who does, maybe

🚙Transport, I can pick you up when you have arrive Brunei and sent you when about leave as well as tour around during your stay however, this ultimately depends on my availability.

⚠️ In normal basis, my working flight-schedules are a bit unpredictable, and more frequently; Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are better chances for me to host, though I would still accommodate other days if I'm able. Hopefully, that the time you are visiting Brunei Darussalam will be concurrent with the time I'll be at home.
