ABOUT ME
I grew up in Batu Pahat, a sleepy small town in Johor, Malaysia. I've been living in New Zealand for many years and have just moved to Beijing in 2014!
I have many talents. But they remain hidden. I can bake, cook, make coffee, shop, and talk reasonably well however. I've worked part-time as a photocopying/scanner girl, university tutor, barista, waitress, and petshop worker.
I am usually described as others as smiley, friendly, and bubbly. People seem surprised by how short I am in person. Just so you know, i'm only 157cm tall and on top of that, I look like i'm 16 years old. With heels i am about 5cm taller so there.
Have couch available on random periods - see couch description.
PHILOSOPHY
Seeing the world through your eyes.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Hosting sometimes. Surfing sometimes.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Great! Had my first couchsurfing experience in HK, it was everything i thought it would be. Second was in a spaceship-like office building in Amsterdam, and third was in an old charming apartment in Berlin. Had a few more whilst travelling in the uk. All of them were different experiences, which is what I love about couchsurfing-- no two couches are the same!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
12 Apostles along Great Ocean Road, Melbourne. Skydiving from 15 000 feet in Wanaka, NZ. Bungy jumping from 134m in Queenstown, NZ. Getting my blood sucked by a leech in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Getting lost at night in a jungle at the same place. Rushing from one temple to another at Angkor Wat. Dropping into Berlin for more than 200quid and just 1 day to see a CS friend.
