I'm tech geek with a keen appreciation of film and music. Rushed my way through education to get a job faster and now needs to overcompensate by seeing the world. I'm sucker for beautiful scenery. Also an occasional "tour guide" of sorts to folks visiting Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia when free.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Been traveling both solo and in groups, and would love to meet up with folks around the world to share wonderful stories of the trips we've made, as well as making for great impromptu travel companions!

Interests

Adventure, particularly conquering the mountain and the sea. Hiking trails that wander through beautiful woods, up and down mountains, and with stunning vistas. Snorkeling and diving in clear turquoise waters.
Visiting grand old cities with centuries of culture, tradition and history.

And last but not least, I'd love to have an intelligent conversation about anything!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Run around Tokyo all day, then climb Mt Fuji at night with barely any sleep for 40 hours straight.

Swim with mantas in the ocean.

Crash a dance club in Lausanne and learn lindy hop (and dance badly)

Go on a road trip to South Island, New Zealand with three others from all corners of the globe, all complete strangers to each other, and had a blast!

Teach, Learn, Share

Probably due to stereotyping, people always assume I fix electronics for a living. Well, I don't do that for a paycheque, but I can try and help out anyway.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An electric list of music and film recommendations, and fill my hosts with a yearning for traveling to Southeast Asia.

Oh, and the odd beer or two.
