CURRENT MISSION

Make the best of what life throws at you!

ABOUT ME

I am a typical Geminian, enjoy fun nights out with friends but also can be equally at ease spending time alone at home. I am witty, intelligent, sensitive, caring and sometimes can be a bit shy when I first meet new people...

In my spare time I like reading, gym training, theater/concerts going, travelling, wine-tasting and yoga.

I am also a polyglot, speaking 6 languages, would love to meet people who speak different languages...

PHILOSOPHY

Just do it..so that you wont regret it later in life...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My friend, Charles (on my friend link on CS) is an active member of CS. He has hosted a few people and I have gone out with them before...nights out at tokyo..Thought it is a good way to connect with people so joined CS.

I have since moved to London and been living in this great city for the past ten years. Hosting CSers might be a good way to get to know more people, around the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't intend to save on hotel expenses but more of making new friends and locals to show me around local hidden attractions...and hopefully it will turn into a long term friendship whereby I will host the person when he/she is in London (to reciprocate..)..I hope this will happen..;)

I like the ethos of CS and for me, Couchsurfing is so much more than free couch/ accommodation. I encourage all ( hosts and surfers) to read this article :

I receive many requests from surfers around the world. I don’t require you to write beautiful messages in your request but if you send a generic request to me, I will decline.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe I can learn something from everybody.

I usually travel in Europe on my own as due to work commitment I can't arrange trips with friends. That's one of the reasons I like CS platform as I get to meet locals and hang out with them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I cook a few cuisines, mainly Japanese, Chinese, Italian and Malaysian.
I can share with you my travel stories. I have also lived in a few countries, can definitely offer advice if you need it.
