I'm a university lecturer, teaching politics and international relations here in Malaysia. I'm also a researcher as well. My particular interests are in Middle East and Latin American politics. Yup, quite a difference!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

A friend told me about this site and as I am living in Malaysia and want to see the region, I thought this might be a nice way to travel and meet some interesting people along the way.

I like to get away from the soulless hotel experience and see new places more in a more intimate fashion.

兴趣

Capoeira, Learning Languages (struggling with Arabic...), Taking full advantage of Kuala Lumpur's relatively cheap cinemas, 90s music (yes, I'm a bit dated!). Football - watching more than playing these days.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I got the backpacker bug after leaving school and never really lost it. Before university I spent 6 months 'teaching' English (not sure that my students really benefited though...) in China during the 1990s. At 21 I backpacked through Lebanon and Syria, when it wasn't a popular tourist destination.

教，学，和分享

Not that I'm very good at it, but if you don't know capoeira and want to learn some basic moves, let me show you!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

How about we just talk and see what comes up? It might be something that neither you nor I initially thought about.
