About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Dream big, dream high!

ABOUT ME

Originally born and grow up in Malaysia, a truly Malaysian who speak Malay, Chinese and English fluently.
I would say I've never lost enthusiasm toward arts, and also never lose curiosity to surroundings as it's never too late to discover more about life. Currently just did my Master in Architecture in Taiwan, and exchange to Germany for half a year.
I am always interested about topics related to environment, to the urban city, and issues which concerned about human. In the past I did some volunteer works abroad and also during my weekend, definitely like to continue it whenever I can. Backpacking and CS is the way I am learning to explore the outside world and also my inner self.

PHILOSOPHY

1.Hope is a waking dream.
2.Don't ever take things for granted. Always appreciate for what we have but don't expecting any from others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started to join in by hosting people after my first registration in CS. People sent me request and whenever I could, I will invite them to my cozy little house. And now I would like to start to surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have my first CS at Madrid, Spain for 3 nights. And had my second CS at Barcelona for 4 nights.
I found that it wasn't that hard after all, when I decided to step out my comfort zone to interact with people.
Overall I really enjoyed those days which given me totally new experience in traveling, by making new friends and sharing culture at the same time. This give me more courage and desire to travel in this way, by treating everyone sincerely and learn to be appreciable all the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited India (which is considered as dangerous place but fascinating I would say) by myself without any companions to participate as a volunteer in a rural village for 1 month, fall sick and experienced Indian Hospital for weeks but in the end I SURVIVED!
But I would definitely go again!

Teach, Learn, Share

Life's never too late to learn more. We feel so much great as long as we keep absorbing something new and get to know yourself even more!
