About Me

A Malaysian Indian who grew up in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Fairly relaxed and cool person, I like to take things as they come, and not rush them, especially while traveling.

I'm very easy going, love to have fun interesting conversations, especially about travel, world culture and politics, love to get to know new cultures and learn about their traditions. I also enjoy going out and having fun, I am an enthusiastic story teller. Can keep you entertaining:)

While traveling, I enjoy making it spontaneous and free & easy. A big fan of personality explorer. Love meeting different type of people with all walks of lives from various personalities.
Humorous and witty person (well, that's what many of my friend's say). Easy going and adaptive. Vegetarian.

I love walking, dancing, hiking, diving, photography and generally nature related activities.

In my life, I would want to bring happiness and smile on other's faces and repeat with the next person , and so on:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to the community, but hope to slowly get more involved (though i registered in 2013 hearing after one of bestie who loves travelling too).

I believe meeting and knowing people from different culture and geography is one of the best way to learn the nation. Couch surfing is a great platform for that which comes with safety and connects people well.
