ABOUT ME

Hi! Salut! Ola! Wie geht's?
I'm a language lover from KL :)

I'm a lucky person who survived jelly fishes, a sledding accident, a derailed train, altitude sickness in the Himalayas, and a bewildering Asian city. This probably makes me sound like Tintin but don't worry! These adventures only happen once in a while. Most of the time I'll be filling my head with fiction, I'm an avid reader and a film lover.

Things I can't get enough of:
- watching films
- traveling and meeting awesome people along the way
- Exploring jungles and forests
- 2nd hand book stores
- Ice Cream

PHILOSOPHY

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I moved to Berlin a year ago and have made this great city my home! If you would like to do a language exchange don't hesitate to message me! I'm also on the lookout for like-minded friends to go to exhibitions or concerts together. I'm up for photoshoots and neighborhood explorations too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I brought some CS people around Kuala Lumpur and we went on a food trail!
A CSer gave me a tour around his farm and flower gardens up in the mountains. CS has been a wonderful platform for meeting a diverse bunch of people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived a jet ski accident and got stung by jellyfishes right after, it hurts A LOT so I don't really recommend it...
Looking at Mt.Everest from the top of Sandakphu while battling altitude sickness, meeting the friendliest bunch of people in Darjeeling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching street Mandarin/Cantonese, and would love to learn survival skills in the wild or at sea, or fixing/growing things.
