About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm Malaysian chinese. I first came to UK in 2006 and i still here in London working as a digital designer. Love to travel and capture beautiful scenes with my camera. I spent the past 5 years travelled in europe and now i wanna go little bit further. I feel blessed for having the opportunity to travel around the world. i always try to save money and spend when needed so that i can buy my flight tickets and visit to random countries. i believe that, that's must be a place or something that you want to do before you turn old. I always remind myself to be brave, independent and adventurous to explore something that unexpected and live no regret.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is a journey, not a destination

When you are thirsty and given just a glass of pure water, you find it the best drink ever. When you hungry and you given just a slice of bread to fill your tummy, that could be the tastiest bread that you ever have. It's not about what you have or own, but what you get at that 'critical' moment that will cherish your life forever...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i quit my full time job and took few months back to do more travelling and meet new people which i get to know couch surfing. Now i back to work and i happy to return favour and host people over the weekend or perhaps weekday if my work schedule is allowed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to CS and never get a chance to surf at one's place as most the time when i travelling in europe/asia i will stay at youth hostel or friend's place. Just that recently i have a plan of travelling to state/south america by myself where i don't know much about the place and people so i guess it's will be great help if i get to make new friends to host me or show me around in budget. In return, i more than happy to be your host/local guide in London or even back in Kuala lumpur:)

Interests

design, sketching, computer graphic is part of my job. when i have free time i will bring my camera out to shoot photos. i also enrol for classes to learn more about painting, ceramic and i practising my spanish language so that when i travel to south america i can recognise those sign/menu:)
