My name is Gogu, and I’m a filmmaker based in Kuala Lumpur. I’m a bit shy and more of an observer, but I genuinely value connecting with people and love hearing stories from around the world. I’m excited to explore life’s many dimensions—with new friends along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m traveling a lot these days, attending film festivals, but I also want to dive into the local way of life in each country I visit. I’m drawn to the beauty of life’s unexpected moments and want to stay open to the magic in everyday experiences. My hope is to share kindness, hear new stories, and embrace fresh perspectives, lifestyles, and ideas from all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

staying alive and hopeful after 31 years of living.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m currently developing my script for a fictional feature film based on the indentured Indian laborers brought by the British to Malaysian plantations in the 1960s. I would love to share my story with you and hear your feedback and thoughts!

Additionally, I can sketch your face—it might turn out a little funny, but it will be an honest expression of you. I'm always up for good conversations and deep talks, so feel free to share anything; I’m a good listener!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share my artworks that I do during the stay.
Share good conversations, or i can simply hear to anything you have to say.
I would love to bring you some Malaysian snacks!
