About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling Europe within a month by my own, ADVENTURE!

ABOUT ME

Hi, I am a student who studied in Newcastle. With the chance to travel from Asia to this continent, I would like to travel in Europe before I return home.
I enjoy travelling and I believe that to travel is to see. I like to make friends with kind, good people from around the world.
I seldom start a conversation but once I familiar with new friends, I am pretty talkative and going wild!
Hope to meet with some new friends from Couchsurfing and have the chance to travel together!

PHILOSOPHY

To be honest, I am still in the stage of searching my personal philosophy. After graduated from the university, I am dilemma in making choices between staying in home country with family or working abroad. I take a gap year to work and fund for my trip. I start travelling with the hope to find what I want, wider my sight and to listen to people's story. Never stop learning!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While living in student accommodation, it is quite sorry that I am not able to host anyone. However, I am pretty like to host people in the future, most probably after I returning to my home country in Malaysia! If I cannot travel as often as you guys do, please share your story with me if you come to Malaysia!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have much experience which I have to sleep in airport, train station, bus, sleeping bag, tent and floor, all of these have taught me to appreciate what we called HOME! I made new connection with people when I stayed in friend's home, their passion and kindness in taking care of me really unforgettable! Thank you!

Interests

I like to travel and photography, especially in film photography! Unfortunately, I do not have money to buy a decent camera and I do not have my film camera with me during this trip, but I believe the beauty of every country and every place that I go with be memorable forever in my life!

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy watching action movie, comedy and Sherlock Holmes! Sometimes I even act and think like Sherlock Holmes to solve problem!
I am doing less reading nowadays (except the free ebook in my tablet!) but I still read newspaper and magazine daily, where I can get pretty much information and improve my vocabulary!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing that I have seen so far is the Sangrada Familia Church in Barcelona! I was stunned by the beauty of it!
Travel is the most amazing I am doing, because you see different things and different people in different country! But I hope to do more in the future like skiing, sky diving and bungee jump!

Teach, Learn, Share

I do not dare to say I have something to offer in this stage but what I learned in my life is Never stop learning! I learned new things when I go through a process of solving problem, so if you have question in preparing a trip or information about a place that I had traveled, I might can offer you a hand!
