Hey, I'm Melissa Tan, an ordinary Asian Chinese girl from Pahang, Malaysia - a place where I called food paradise.

Since year 2014, I set a goal for myself - to travel at least once a year. First is to give a break to myself and most importantly is I love to see how the other part of this earth look like!

Yea, work life balance is what I looking forward in life, so yea I had been going through a eat-work-sleep life for a year plus as an auditor and I decided to quit the job few months ago~~

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

WHY AM I PARTICIPATING IN COUCHSURF-ing:

Hmm, through couchsurf, -
- I will be able to meet more friends who stay in different parts of this world.
- A way to get to know the local peoples and their cultures & foodie~~~

And I believe " birds of a feather flocks together"!!! People who join couchsurfing like us here, we may have the same thought and interest, expect for a good hosting and giving our best to host people as well...

Interests

- TRAVEL for sure.

- Spend my free time thinking about futures (basically just daydream), because people always say that we must DREAM BIG..

- Love sharing my life experience with peoples

- Love outdoor activities like swimming, cycling, jogging and etc. But a NO to sun( FYI Malaysia has summer-like weather all year round).

Music, Movies, and Books

For music and movies, no special preference but I will watch whatever I think is nice. General answer, but yea that's just me.

I love philosophy books like "The Power of Secret" which teach us about life perception and give us motivation to keep climbing higher.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last time when I was studying in ACCA (course of Chartered Accountant), all student are aiming for a prize where we called it "World Prize Winner", so as I. By the time I got my result, I am shocked, surprised, excited or whatever or AM I DREAMING, I really got it and that's why DREAM BIG~~

Next awesome thing I gonna do in travel to USA for one month~~ Will share my experience when I got back~

Teach, Learn, Share

Travel freaks like us, of course we have to share to our awesome experience with each other. And we know what to look for when we actually travel to that place~
