Graphic designer and illustrator based in Kuala Lumpur.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience travelling as a local, not a tourist.

Interests

Into the arts, alternative music, graphic novels, interiors and architecture, exploring new cities, analog photography, etc. Love impromptu car drives with friends in Malaysia where I live, spending lazy late afternoons in parks, walking aimlessly, looking at people and buildings.
