Hello! 你好!

I am Patrick Tan, from Penang , Malaysia.

I am currently an engineer working in the manufacturing industry. I am an enthusiastic person who loves traveling and sharing my experiences with everyone. Before the pandemic, I had done 3 months of backpack travel in 9 European countries. Aside from that, I had trips to Melbourne, Australia and Taipei, Taiwan. I have met a lot of people with different thoughts during my journey.

Due to the pandemic, my trips were all canceled. I had recently visited United States for business trip and will be staying here till December. I am looking forward to visiting places like San Francisso, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. I had 3 great experiences in CouchSurfing back in my trip to Europe (Germany, Austria and Hungary), I hope to meet new people and make friends along my journey in the United States!

Facts about me, I am a person who is talkative. I like to share everything about myself with others. I am a easy going person and have lots of laughters at most time. I like to listen to people's experiences during their traveling, what they experienced and learned.

I hope to get a host during my trip in United States. Feel free to drop me a text to say hello to me. :)
