About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel, travel and travel. Get to know and learn as much as I can. Meeting new friends has always been my interest.

ABOUT ME

I'm an entrepreneur based in Kuala Lumpur, spent 2 years studying in Lyon, France, what a fantastic city! Still brushing up on my French =) I love travelling and experience something new especially food. To me, the best way to understand an unfamiliar culture is through food. Really looking forward to meet with more CouchSurfers that are open for intercultural exchange.

PHILOSOPHY

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I do both hosting and surfing. The main purpose is to meet different people of different nationalities and cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every experience has been fantastic and memorable!

Interests

I love travelling around. I would love to learn more about different people of different cultures and traditions from all around the world. I spend my free time cooking food of different countries , it's the only way to release stress and I really enjoy them! Not to be missed, coffees, wines, cheeses and beaches of course. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

CouchSurfing isn't just about a free place to sleep, but it is about cultural exchange. It is also about spending quality time with your hosts/guests by showing them around the beautiful city that you live in. A deep chat in a cafe or pub with a couple mugs of beer or coffee is a really nice thing to do. In my opinion, cultural exchange is one of the best things to do when I meet a new person who comes from a different background.
