About Me

ABOUT ME

I must say I`m a typical young professional who enjoys life to the fullest. I`m a born traveler. Currently, I have been to (at least) 38 provinces and municipalities in the country and 12 international destinations. I always go places with two aim : To explore that place and meet new friends. I always love to deal with people, from different race and from different walks of life. Hope this site might help in my journey to travel more and meet new friends! can`t wait!

PS : I'm currently on a mission to learn as many language as I can! (at least the very basics)

PHILOSOPHY

Don't worry about what others think about you. They know nothing about your life, because your life is yours to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to live abroad in a local way, as simple and modest as you can imagine it should be and experience a first hand hospitality and generosity of other nations and to meet an adventurous traveler same as I am! Much more is to divulge myself into rich cultural influences a particular place has to offer.

Interests

I`m interested in Geography, Nature, Cities, History, Culture, Local foods and Travel of course! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once stung by a sea urchin in a Philippine province, drunk crawling at Pubstreet in Cambodia, almost lost walking nowhere on a night market in Thailand, haggling my English skills while finding a urinal in Hong Kong..ended up doing a charade for better understanding! Meet new local friends in Singapore, beach tanning in Kota Kinabalu, downtown strolling in Miri and mesmerizing the Petronas Tower right before my eyes in Malaysia, dead walking on the streets of Ho Chi Minh, almost lost in the cab going to the Cu Chi Tunnel & endless foodtripping in Taiwan! Just recently took a solo travel to Penang and it was absolutely great! Indeed unforgettable! Recently explore the thousands temples and Pagodas in Myanmar & spent a Ramadan Season in Brunei and traveling to Australia (Melbs and Syd) all by myself!

Teach, Learn, Share

I always believed that once a person goes out of the country, they will then represent their respective countries back home as a majority to other foreign people they will meet along the way. So, it's really is important to make a good impression to everyone and to share positive things and experiences, both the good and misadventures, that you have most cherished whilst travelling.
