About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I moved back to my small hometown, Parit Raja in Johor, Malaysia in 2020 after staying abroad for 16 years. I miss the excellent experiences of meeting people around the world, so would love to meet as many CSurfers as I can to get to continue sharing and learning!

ABOUT ME

I am opened minded and positive Malaysian-Chinese. Born in Johor prefecture, later moved to Kuala Lumpur for 11 years after high school for college and works. Left for England for 2 years under working holiday visa. Was working in restaurant and hotel . Travelled a bit in England, Wales, Scotland, Spain, Italy, France, Czech Republic and Poland during my stay.
After England, I lived in Singapore before being transferred to Japan. Left Japan after 13 years and moved back to Malaysia in 2020.
Parents have taught us the joy of traveling and the passed on the passion on foods. Been traveling with parents since young. I love to stay with local instead of hotel in order to get to know deeper of the country or town that I am visiting.

PHILOSOPHY

Be positive, do what I love and enjoy it, love meeting people and will get all chances to get to know new friends especially those from different part of the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a great time since my first meetup with other CSs from around the world! Made good friends with some great people, hear lots of wonderful stories of people. Hate to know some young people have show no respect on people's kindness.

Interests

Love to meet people from different culture. Been doing handicraft since young and into accessories making. Love watching movie/drama but I am not a drama queen 😄
