About Me

More settled these days, rather than the living on the edge or live as if tomorrow is your last day. I know right, what's happening?!

Moving towards building a career or a role that makes a difference in this world, which also explains my choice in being a Solar Engineer. Nonetheless, I still go on my "once in a blue moon" adventure trips, well at least once per year. I'm also starting to make time for my parents which gives me less opportunities for adventure (I was in Taiwan with my mom back in Aug'15). That being said, I'm on my way for a 2-week open trip in New Zealand (South Island - 7th-21st Nov). :)

Still a fool at times and likes to tease though. hahaha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting kindred spirits or beyond awe when meeting amazing people that I wouldn't have imagined.

Sometimes you feel life is beautiful again when you meet/inspired by/amazed by fellow CS from a completely random walk of life. Love hearing stories!

Teach, Learn, Share

Couchsurfing really teaches you in many aspects. People-relating skills, world knowledge, etc. You just have to take time to calm down and reflect upon. It's not just about looking for a free couch, really. From sending request to dropping a reference, you can surely learn something from CS. I'm sure. ;)
