About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently on a job training in UK.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Sabah (Borneo Island) Malaysia, studied in Singapore and currently working and living here.

I spent 11 months in New Zealand on Working Holiday, travelled around the country and glad to have the chance of meeting a lot of amazing people.

I am an independent, easy-going, open-minded, adventurous person. I enjoy doing thing from indoor to outdoor, desk-bound to physical demanding activities. I am always curious and like to explore new things. I like to meet people from different country and cultures. And I believe beer is always a good ice breaker (although I prefer Gin ;) ).

PHILOSOPHY

The place you travel can only get as good as the people you meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Started with meeting a Surfer for coffee in the airport, who had just travelled more than 24hrs in buses to reach the town. We met again in another country, travelling and exploring places together which is alien to us.
