I'm an Asian whose first language is English, but ethnically Chinese so I communicate fluently in both English and Chinese. I welcome travellers from all over the world, especially solo travellers who choose Penang as the first destination to visit in Malaysia. As one of the currently active hosts in Penang, I appreciate all those who came to stay at my place and engaged in some friendly conversations, exchanged information, and even shared some funny moments together. Couchsurfing is about sharing your life with one another and that's what makes the brief encounter pleasant, worthwhile, and hopefully memorable. I apologise to those whom I was unable to host as my room has limited space and I'm not always available, and also to those who didn't get a reply or response as I had too many requests or I neglected to check the inbox. I may not be able to accommodate every request all the time, so please pardon me, but I do try to be hospitable and helpful. Do be aware that my place is a house, not a hotel or hostel, so there are certain restrictions involved, so please read the description of my room, my preferences, and house rules, before sending a request. When making a request, you must indicate that you have read through all the details and that you agree to accept and follow all that is stated.
