Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Been told by friends that I made during my europe trip.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have started surfing in Cologne. The host is very generous and welcoming which gave the CS experience a very good start.

Have been surfing for quite a while now for my Europe trip and it's been very positive. Now I'm back to Malaysia and I will definitely start hosting. Priority will of course be given to all my wonderful previous hosts. :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not that I considered this something amazing but it was big decision for me anyhow. Have been working as a Credit Analyst in a bank for nearly 3 years then abandoned my career and started travelling around Europe for around 6 months to experience and see the world. Some people think it's foolish but not me obviously. Learned an awful lot about life and myself as a person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you Mandarin and Cantonese as long as you're interested.

If you fancy some Malaysian/Chinese food, I can probably cook something for you.
