Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am learning more about myself through travelling.

As a young artist, I have low budget to spend during my trip, therefore I am seeking kind people to be my host.

Ironically, I can be very shy, but meeting strangers in here has been amazing and boost up my confidence !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had an art exhibition in a forest in Malaysia in 2017.
I had to start hiking at 5am before sunrise and hang up my works before the visitors arrived.

Put my work down after 1pm and repeated again for the next day.... :D
