About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Quit my job and travel solo as much as possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm a passionate traveler. My current mission is to quit my job and travel solo as much as possible. I travel to learn and to grow as a person. I'm mostly interested in nature, culture, art, food and history.

I have been teaching English in a primary school for 2 years now. My students are 10 years old and they are "annoying", funny and awesome at the same time. I have learned so much from them.

I'm also a social introvert. I enjoy my own company but I also enjoy meeting people and having deep conversations. I can actually be quite silly when I got comfortable with someone. Haha.

I'm open-minded. I believe people should be respectful and nice towards each other. I'm a Muslim. I don't drink and smoke. I'm a pretty clean person. I can cook pretty decent Malaysian food. Oh, and I also have a terrible sense of direction. Haha.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : I listen pretty much to all types of music but I mostly enjoy indie pop-folk music and acoustics.

Movies : I love movies with a simple yet meaningful story line (The Help, Easy A) and movies with a twist (Predestination, Inception, Interstellar).

TV Shows : Survivor, Quantico, Orange Is The New Black, Sense8

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was pretty much a spoiled brat as a kid. So my proudest achievement is earning my own money for the first time by working as a part-time home keeper for a year (while studying) in Brisbane, Australia. I hated that job but I pushed myself to do it anyway because I was determined to live out of my comfort zone. I wanted to be more independent, stronger and grow. And I believe I did.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to cook some Malaysian food and teach Malay language.
I would love to learn more about different cultures and languages.
