About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To leave my footsteps on the habitable continents of this world, then onwards to as many countries as possible and learn as many languages as I can manage (not many gets past "how are you")

ABOUT ME

I am a naturally shy person but when I make friends, I hope and want it to lasts for life. I always believe that you can always discover more if you have a diverse kind of friends.

PHILOSOPHY

1) Que sera sera
2) Try everything at least once (as long as it is not endangering anybody else's life and within reasonable logic)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still keeping in touch with my couchsurfing friends through Instant Messaging and is hoping that we will get to go some travelling together soon too.

Interests

reading, bowling, intelligent bantering, trying foods, clothes and many other things. I want life to be the journey, not the destination.

Music, Movies, and Books

Margaret Weiss, John Grisham, JK Rowling, Tolkiens, in fact, I read everything from Dragon and Dungeons kind right up to children's books.

Music wise, as child growing up in the 80s, top 40s is a nostalgic memories but I listen to newer songs too of course, Taylor Swifts and the likes. :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have yet to experience one that is extra ordinary but given my introvert nature, my kayaking in the rain, downstream in the town of Vang Vieng, Laos was the most exciting and memorable as I was drenched in rain and it was so peaceful and yet rickety and at one with nature. Simply wonderful. Oh, taking a simple photo of children in Sri Lanka and then printing it at shop to give to them, seeing their happiness was also an experience that I can't forget. It was a spur of the moment thing. Getting a jab at my behind at a spartan army-ish hospital in Hanoi and spent the night there due to food poisoning, that has to count as memorable too...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn languages. I find language...beautiful and the beauty is always lost in translation. Thus my interest to learn language.

What can I teach? I don't know, word play perhaps?

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, China, France, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Laos, Monaco, Myanmar, Nepal, Netherlands, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, Viet Nam
