About Me

Just recently moved to Perth.

I'm usually busy travelling and have friends visiting. (Delays in response may happen. I try to reply to everyone, whether it is a yes or no. I appreciate people who make an effort to make a personalized request, that includes saying hi to the right person). This is not a free Airbnb but a place to exchange ideas and meet interesting people.

I'm an avid diver and nature lover. Drinking and going to good clubs are other things that I enjoy. (None of those clubs are in KL btw).

I appreciate spontaneity and randomness. I've been lucky so far to have hosted the greatest couchsurfers. I don't like writing about myself so please read the reviews, they are mostly accurate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Joined in 2012. I have met a lot of cool, both like-minded and not so like-minded people through CS. I always learn something new. And I hope to meet more interesting humans.
