About Me

My mission now is to visit new places, meet new people and make memories along the journey. For me CS should be more than just a free hosting but it is everyone opportunity to experience cultural exchange and making new friends.

I have a dream to travel the world just like everyone else. A baby steps is very important in everything you do. I am not born rich or have good salary but travelling has been my passion since I was a kid. Watching Nat Geo, Discovery TLC and all the travel shows on TV really drives me crazy and motivate me to achieve the dream to make it come true.
CS has given me the opportunities and hope to travel for less and create connection with people from around the world.

In Bintulu I live with my housemates so I don't own the house to myself. I have my own room, the room we will share. At the moment I can only host two persons at least as I don't have enough space or afford to accomodate more than two.

As for kitchen we have microwave, toaster, sandwich maker, water boiler and other appliances which you can use. But please handle everything with care and clean up after cooking or eating. If you have local sim, the internet is working fine at my place, but otherwise I can always share my Internet hotspot.

please read MY HOME section to know more about my place. A word to the wise.. bring your earplug.. I’m a deep sleeper. According to some guests.

I love reading and writing. In fact, I am still learning to write in English. Anyway,
blogging and photography is something I would love to learn from other surfers.

So guys, if you have anything to ask from me, please do not hesitate to ask and it is my pleasure to help you just like how I will need help for myself in the future. Even if you are staying for a short time.. I am happy to have you to be part of my memory and my journey in life. Making friends.

I would appreciate it if you are not always on your smartphone. And I don't want you to treat my house like your last resort just because you couldn't find a cheap guesthouse or any other couch host.

THIS IS NOT A HOTEL. BE AUTHENTIC. LIVE THE COUCHSURFING SPIRIT and I will be happy to accept you even it's a last minute request. Be real and explain your situation. I'm very observant. I found it is very difficult to find host when you are travelling in Asia and you are Asian. how do I want to know if you really read my long ABOUT ME profile page? Send me a request with password: snoreloudWhy oh why. Please stop discrimination of skin colours. We are travelers. It is rude just to decline a request without letting them know why. Please, this cs is losing that traveler spirit because of some people who are not meant to be here.

Philosophy of traveling:

"Coming as a stranger. Leaving as a friend" or family

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why am I here? Firstly, I have never heard of this site until I looked up for alternative to travel for free. I was excited to sign up. (But I could not get my account verified now as it is expensive for me) If I can't host anyone then so be it. I enjoy hosting and meeting new people. That's the reason why I am here. being here is not just about me wanting a free accommodation when traveling. As I have just started to be involved in traveling, having this site will help me to pay less when traveling. I want to do the same thing to anyone out there. Helping traveler to pay less while traveling and gain experiences. So I am reaching out to every traveler who would like to visit the Places near me.

Making friends! that is another reason why am I here. Everyone has their own stories and experiences and I am a good listener. Opportunity like this never came into someone life very often. I have stories and you have stories, let's exchange stories and share tips and knowledge of the world. I hope to widen my friendship abroad as I have a dream to travel and see the world.

Learning English and other new languages. I am still learning English and I hope by meeting new people who speaks English, I get to learn and practice the language. I do self- learning French and Mandarin. It is hard! I am trying.

If you like to cook, I want to learn how to cook different meal. I love foods and eating brings people together. Foods and chitchat. From food comes the tradition and cultures.

Interests

I love meeting new people and make friends. From here I hope I will be able to widen my connection abroad. Exchanging stories and experiences with new friends are something that I really love because there isn't a book or magazine that can tell you all that. I love learning new languages, in fact I am still learning English. I love food so I love to cook though I don't really have a good hand and no.skills at all. I wish to write a cook book one day. Photography especially traveling photography has always been my interest. I would love to meet someone who can share tips and teach me how to take good pictures while traveling.
