CURRENT MISSION Forget about travelling the world, I still havent got 20% of my region in asia covered to begin with! ABOUT ME Im at a loss at this part. Why not, instead of me telling you who I am, Ill let the others who Ive met tell you who I am. Basically a Malaysian from Borneo Island, currently residing in Kuala Lumpur. A "pro-tour-grapher" (Full time project engineer, part time photographer/tour guide). An active outdoor person who is attracted to clear blue skies. Ive been less active here on CS since being an actual tour guide. I prefer to get to know my guests first before meeting them, just to be sure that travellers are sincerely interested to get to know people instead of seeing CS as a platform for free stay/tours/guide :) Places covered: 90% of Malaysia Calgary - Canada Hong Kong - China Hanoi (2), Halong, Sapa - Vietnam Medan, Lake Toba, Berastagi, Pekan baru, Jakarta, Bali - Indonesia Phuket - Thailand Seoul, Gyeongju, Damyang, Gwangju, Jeonju, Busan - Korea Batanes - Phil Places I plan to go Cebu, Palawan, Bohol - Philippines Komodo island, Flores, Bromo, Ijen - Indonesia Laos The rest of the description I leave it up to you if we meet! PHILOSOPHY 1. Be a tourist to know your own city. 2. Take what you can offer

One Amazing Thing I've Done
- Watching active volcano and hiking up an inactive volcano in indonesia - 1 week hiking + camping trip up one of the toughest mountains in Malaysia. Couldnt feel my legs for a few days after + almost go stuck by lightning up there - Squid fishing from an oil rig supply ship. *Misuse of company property?* - Done with crossing street in Vietnam, tried cycling with the mad traffic and kinda got used to it.
