About Me

I am an ESFP who likes doing stupid things (s'long as what I'm doing is funny). Having said that, this melancholic soul's still trying to figure out his meaning and place in this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently interning at the European Parliament in Brussels as part of my studies. I thought it'd be cool to take this chance to travel around Europe for a bit — and couch surfing is perfect for people like me on a budget.

  • football
  • blues music
  • blues dancing

Music, Movies, and Books

Swing big band music, Blues, Mangas and all kinds of movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess one amazing thing I have done is to backpack throughout Borneo for 3 months. I had the rare opportunity to teach kids English in a village and they returned the favour by providing food. It was blissful and strange because I was in a situation in which if they didn't supply me with food,I would have starved to death given my inability to hunt — hahaha.

Umm, I guess it might count as somewhat amazing that I interned at the European Parliament with an MEP from Romania (?)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a little of East Coast Swing . And a bit of Malaysian political system...i guess haha

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share about my experience growing up in South East Asia and backpacking there. Also, I could share intimate knowledge about the politics in Malaysia — having delved with grassroots democracy for a number of years.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, England, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Romania, Scotland, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand

Countries I’ve Lived In

Belgium, Malaysia, United States
