Greetings, citizens of the world!

I'm a normal chap and people called me Chap. Currently in pursuit of what is best for my life and everybody around me. I'm gonna start bicycle touring around Europe starting June 2019.

I come from a country known as Malaysia. Being born and raised in a so called 'developing' country with a multi-races community, I know how it feels. Races do not exist and I would certainly love to live a life where humanity is on top of everything not the other way round!

I have dreadlocks but I'm no Rastafarian. I'm not a talkative guy but when it comes to the right topic for example, art and humanity or any relevant topics will intrigue me to keep talking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The truth is, I was in a comfort zone for my entire life and I know this has to come to an end. I'm thirsty to know more of what the world has to offer. What is life and happiness when there's nothing to learn and to be shared with others.

I discovered the fun about Couchsurfing through fellow hitchhikers and travelers who used to stay with me at my studio. It's best and cheapest way of travelling with the right spirit and urge to meet people around the world.

Interests

I love to do everything nice and try something new. Everyday is a new day and it's up to me to decorate the blank canvas of my life. Be it a productive day or not, there's something to tell about it.

We might exchange interests and love it along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I believe different music delivers different aura to its listener. For me personally, I listen to all kind of music as long the messages of the songs contain no negativity at all. Most of the time, I listen to underground Hardcore Punk band just because their songs and lyrics just belong to my life personally. I don't play any instruments. At least not good enough to entertain people.

I also listen to Radiohead, Fleet Foxes, Damien Rice, Bob Marley, Cigarettes After Sex, Explosions in The Sky,, Sigur Rós, The Smiths, Daft Punk, etc. just to name a few in my playlist.

I mostly enjoy biographical or historical movies because the cinematic references will make me closer or at least giving me a glimpse of what was happening.

Teach, Learn, Share

The essences of life and happiness is to teach, learn and share.

I can teach you Malay Language if you want. I speak Malay most of the time in my life. I can teach some the basic of the language or even cursed words we use in daily life (if you are up for it haha).

Apart from that, I also want to learn new languages and experience the daily ritual from the other side of the world. Basically what is culture exchange is all about.
