Started in June 2017... I'm on an adventure to find my next Home. Traveling through Japan, USA, Europe and Africa.

Who am I?
Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with over 15 years of experience in the online media in Asia. Quit the corporate world to discover the future by finding the next destination home to start a food, spiritual and charity business.

I enjoy food 😋. I'm a vegan foodie by nature... I love cooking classes and cooking lessons taught by locals especially grandma's recipes! So if you know of any awesome places -- msg me... if you share the same passion, we will probably have an awesome meal with awesome company! You can probably look at the vegan album to see what you like -- and I'll cook for you as an exchange for the couch! Or follow me on Instagram as I travel as private chef in your kitchen.

Life is too short not to enjoy.
Personal motto : Live life to the fullest as though it's your last day on earth... if you do that day to day -- it will be awesome life that you will have.

Life isn't complete without imagination.
Believes in life beyond Earth (Aliens 👽 and unicorns 🦄 for sure!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find likeminded travelers to share tips and tricks and of course gather more people to visit my website :
https://jlhomecook.wordpress.com

To spend time meeting locals who could give me best tips to their favorite activity, favorite food market, favorite restaurants... through these are the best way to learn about their culture.

I've met some inspiring, soul teachers who will give me a different perspective of life. I believe that every soul that crosses my path teaches something valuable about life. If you believe in this -- I am sure there will be something awesome about the connection we will have.

Music, Movies, and Books

I do have short term memory -- so please don't judge me as if I don't know the title, author, director, actor/actress. (I know you just did 😝).

Recent one that I fell in love with 😍:
Book | The Compass "Because it doesn't matter what you seek or what you find. What matters is that you allow your compass to guide you, and let your gifts and knowledge rise to the surface, so you can live out your life's purpose."

Teach, Learn, Share

My life story is a roller coaster ride, if you are lucky, you might be exposed to some of the stories... I believe in seeing the positive light to every situation. It is sometimes the most powerful tool to have...

I've much to learn in life and much to learn in love 💝... but I have many theories and tools that I use to coach people through tough times.... love to discuss and learn more in this area. (Not 100% guaranteed solutions 😊)

Unfortunately, if you are all about discussing data, politics or football... you have lost me somehow. 😴

What I Can Share with Hosts

Entrepreneurship - I've started about 4 businesses in Asia and have been coaching some folks in starting their own... I'm not an expert but I can share some thoughts and opinions.

Digital Media landscape in Asia - spend about 8 years in this field.. it changes everyday, wouldn't say an expert but love to share what I know. Won one gold award 🥇 nothing fancy.

Character reading through Numerology - been practicing it for many years. It gives you a guidance of knowing what strength and weakness a person is born with.

Energy healing (Pranic or Reiki) - let me know which part of your body hurts -- I'll make you feel better!

Some awesome food recipes that I've collected during my journey... we can cook them together!
