ABOUT ME

I'm Foong, a doctor taking a 6 month break to go climbing. I'm originally from Malaysia and ended up here via Japan and Singapore. I enjoy bushwalking, rockclimbing, soccer, travelling and nerdy stuff like medical research. Totally enjoying life everyday in Tassie, I normally split my time between doing medical stuff and doing something outdoors (climbing/bushwalking).

Also I've worked in a range of pretty quirky, random jobs, ranging from an assistant physio at a soccer club to looking after drunks at a sobering up unit. Happy days.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm pretty happy to host people (if they don't mind a shoddy place with a leaking roof and hot water that runs out), and I look forward to sharing new experiences with all of you out there :)
