About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be BRAVE.. ^^

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Shawn. I Will get a long holidays once a year, for travelling. I like to travel. Like to know new friends around the world.. Like to know new friends, listen to their stories.. Sharing with them and sometimes will learn from them. :)

When I travel somewhere, usually I will look for local food. For me, local food is one of the easy way to know more about the place, about a country's culture or may be local life. It is happy when i do have chance talk to local people.

My hometown is 1.5hr car drive distance from KL Town. It was a small town, thats a beach nearby my house, 10mins drive distance actually. If you want to experience local life, here's the chance to know more. It's great and I always think that I'm lucky I living here!

PHILOSOPHY

Easy-going. Life short, just do it!
