Overview
About Me
I grew up in Malaysia and I was a software developer in Singapore for several years before I started traveling. I spent about a year in New Zealand and I am currently on the move again.
Basically I am curious by nature in many things and a huge appetite of trying new experiences to an extend that it almost my life struggle to manage my time to explore them all. I love travel and meeting new people although I do enjoy some private time occasionally. I also enjoy good conversation and explore different culture, lifestyles and knowledge.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would really appreciate a place to stay when I travel on budget but more importantly, it is perfect for me to dive straight into local's life where I have a chance to explore a city in depth.
Unfortunately I still yet to have a place of my own to host, but I intended to explore other ways to contribute as it goes.
Interests
Just about anything! Be it outdoors and nature, digital world and technology, culture, economy and history, do appreciate a bit of arts, good food, cold draft beer and good music. Maybe not so much on pop-cultures and night life but I don't really mind once in awhile. I often spacing out staring at the sky too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Did my first cycle touring, camping and hiking trip around South Island of New Zealand for 3 and a half months.
Got my diving license after I seriously started to learn swimming a year before, which been sinking like a rock in water for my whole life before that.
Highest peak conquered so far, 6152m.
Teach, Learn, Share
I believe that there could be a balance point between relentlessly pursuing something worthy and living gracefully, while everything deemed worthy, is personal.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Good conversation and stories to share, I am a good listener at the very least. Might be able to help with some IT problems.
