About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience and understand the differences that makes the 3rd Rock from the Sun such a special place.

ABOUT ME

Im a simple guy, grew up in Malaysia. Studied and worked in Sydney and have traveled around Australasia, Asia and Europe.

Enjoy hosting travelers, and learning what the world looks like through their eyes :)

For many years I have been very active in outdoor adventure and travel within Malaysia. I enjoy passing my knowledge to travelers, be it advising them on the best spots (cultural, historic, adventure) or taking them around when i have the time.You will be able to see the spots that only the locals know.

I love meeting new people during my adventures away from home and i have always had great experiences with my new found friends who go out of the way to make me feel like im at home in a foreign country. I enjoy doing the same for other travelers when they are in my country. I think it always nice to have a local FRIEND who makes you feel comfortable when you are in a foreign land. These are the people who have made my travel stories so special to me.

Quote from a guy who helped me a time of need: "Dont worry about it, may be some day some one will help me out when i need it"

Quote from a traveler who is now a great friend: "Friends are made in heaven, you never say good bye"

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Adventure is a lifestyle

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to help out travelers as i know how special it feels to be treated like family while away from home.

If everyone did more then just offer a couch, then this community would become the best way to travel for any one, any where.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed loads through my extensive world tour. 7 months straight without a hostel is an achievement. Love this project as its given me so much in so many ways.
