About Me

About Me
I'm an open-minded/active/friendly person as I spend about a decade outside my home country and grew up
in a multicultural community.
Of course, I'm a cool guy with no criminal record!

My Mission
I work as a business consultant to make innovation happen at global scale in order to improve everyone's
everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to share things with people!
I enjoyed the concept of "sharing" from apartment sharing, home stay, Uber and AirBnB experience and I decide to pay back/pay forward in this connected world.

As I traveled 40+ countries, I found the beauty of travel is to interact locals.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to share knowledge and experience. It's not about judgement or discrimination but to be connected with different people!

I believe myself a "flexible/friendly guest/host". (ie clean to use stuffs, a bit of drinks, no smoking, never drug/weed)
