About Me

For the past the few years I've been see-sawing between work and studying in London, but having finally completed a three year training contract, this means I can finally begin see-sawing between work and a personal life again!

Though British born, I have strong love for Malaysia where my parents grew up. Being raised by a mum from the "small" island of Penang means I love all things food. I'm always keen to be taken out my comfort zone and constantly on the search for new learning experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that there's no better way to get to know a place than spending time with someone local. This has proven to be so true over the years especially allowed through Couchsurfing where I've surfed with such interesting and kind people, who I probably would never have met in my day to day life, and have now become an incredible international network of good friends.

Now that I've got some free time to start exploring the world again, I'm really keen to get back into Couchsurfing, see a country through someone else's eyes and likewise, share mine.
