Hello hello!!!!

I am a petite Malaysian who loves food to the the core. I have been on CS for a long time but recently active again.

With no plans at all, I quit my job as a Fraud Investigator in one of the world's most prestigious financial institution to be a digital nomad.

Currently, I am a risk and security analyst with a NYC based firm. I love my job very much even though I’m constantly reading emails.

Over the years, I’ve learned to develop an interest in cybersecurity, sociology, criminology and psychology. Loves martial arts, hiking, rock climbing, diving and cooking.

My motto in life is carpe diem!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've once randomly stayed in a local's house on the way to Lake Toba. I had no idea where exactly I was and she invited me to stay with her family. I stayed with them for 4 days and learned so much about the local customs of their tribe. I taught her how to improve her English and share with her my travel stories. We became good friends since then! It was the most wonderful experience i have had while travelling.

Also, I've heard beautiful stories of how a host can bond with their surfers. I'm excited to experience what a couchsurfer can experience!
