About Me

A passionate physicist and an extremely social person. I was a director in AIESEC Malaysia and a member for 5 years. Through my organization, I met so many friends that when I traveled around southeast Asia, I never had to stay in a hotel. I like the fact that I literally have friends on every continent on earth including Antarctica (one of my friends is doing law-temperature physics research in there).

I love the night sky and I hangout with my friends a little bit too much. Because for an extrovert, being with people brings a lot of joy. My social network is ridiculously huge and i simply love it.

I lived in Malaysia for 5 years and I am in love with Asia. been to so many countries; Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi, UAE, The Philippines, Germany and Jordan. I am residing in Kalamzoo, Michigan...and I love it here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love meeting new people and introducing them to other new people. I find joy in knowing that everybody has a story to tell and if you simply listen to those stories, you will see parts of this world that you would never be able to visit.

I am a people person...that is why I am doing this.

Interests

Making friends, physics, reading, cliff jumping, open water swimming, cultures, food, movies, religions and astronomy.

Ultimate frisbee is my favorite sport.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love all kinds of rock music( i dont like metal though). I really enjoy spoken word poetry if you count that as music..because it is to me!!

I read a lot of physics books and i enjoy books about technological futurism. these 2 areas overlap and create an area in between where you cant help but read about philosophy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with sharks in Indonesia

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my traveling stories around the world, the night sky ( I know my astronomy) and many conversations about random topics ( im pretty talkative).

But what I think I will share the most is my social network and the places which I think are cool in my city.

Countries I’ve Visited

Germany, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, United Arab Emirates

Countries I’ve Lived In

Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, United States
