About Me

Hey ! I just graduated from med school at Moscow last summer. Right now I'm working at a coffee shop.

I always travel during my breaks from studies(usually during winter/summer). When I first started travelling I became addicted to it. It had opened up my eyes to the way I see things and make me learnt a bunch of stuffs I never expect to learn. I gotta admit travel changes who i am as a person.

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”

CURRENT MISSION
Working to earn my travel allowance. Aim to visit the amazing Southeast Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

Time you enjoy wasting are not wasted.

Follow your heart, decide with your brain and face the consequences.

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

Never worry. If there's a solution, why worry ? If there isn't , why worry ? Time will decide almost everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started CS last December when I wanted to travel to Iceland and I noticed there wasn't any hostel there and so my friend introduced me to couch surfing. But in the end we didn't make it.

I am also looking to meeting new friends/travelling partner since I'm not very experienced in travelling alone. Sometimes I travel with friends, sometimes i go for short solo trips.

Interests

Travelling, Dota 2(online game), animals, basketball, table tennis, volleyball, manga, music and chilling with friends.

Beautiful scenery , new adventure, new experience and looking at new perspective about life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once a Norwegian told us(me and my friends), Trolltunga is not suitable for Asian for it was a tough hike. But we made it in one go. That was an amazing experience to be able to challenge myself to the limits

Teach, Learn, Share

I am looking forward to visit all the breathtaking views around the world.

Take amazing photos, trying out different kind of foods and experience different kind of culture.

We could share our travelling experience and exchanged languages that we know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I might be able to cook some malaysian dishes but honestly speaking I'm not that good with cooking(but I can try). I might be able to host you next time if you are coming to Malaysia. And i can teach you the languages I know if you are looking to travel to Asia.
