About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel whenever the flight ticket is cheap! or extend work trip (free flight ticket!)

ABOUT ME

A very easy going person. Literally, an easy-going person. I am a sucker for culture, tradition and the new world order. And now that I am in a partnership role at my company, I am always enthused to meet startup founders and know more on potential partnerships/acquisitions. I always find founders to be amazing for their tenacity. I am an active volunteer to educate the aboriginal community of Malaysia (you would be surprised, the country with the tallest twin skyscraper in the world, still needs help with basic education for it's population)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe everything happens for a reason and it's all part of the life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My CS experience started in China when I would join the activities locally and when I first surfed in Vietnam, I fell in love with the concept. Been surfing and hosting whenever I can. And NOW that I have managed to retrieve back my profile, I would like to be active again. Couch surfing has been the best experience of my life. I have met so many amazing people, got to travel all over the world, know more about myself and have many new experiences. And I'm glad to be part of it!

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 11: When I came back with straight A's I woke up my mother from a coma.
When I was 21: Got stuck in Mumbai's Taj Hotel emergency staircase - had to go into ducts.
When I was 31: I traveled Mongolia on a bike and did horse riding.

Teach, Learn, Share

A little bit of the Asian culture, a little bit of Enneagram, and a little bit about the 3 frogs story that changed my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories. Amazing stories. Discussions. And I may be able to crack you up and have a good and unique time with me because I try to do things that you have not done too. Let's do it together!

ps: I have a thing for rooftops :p Let's go up one and hopefully we don't get caught.
