ABOUT ME

I'd say I'm a laid-back person, a bit on the quiet side and it might take me a while to warm up to people. I enjoy meeting any type of person as I believe everyone of us is interesting!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by surfing and hosting, or if I'm not available to host, I could show surfers around my town. Or if anyone wants tips travelling in Malaysia, I'd be happy to provide them. As a somewhat outdoorsy person, I can bring you for hikes, or mountain biking.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

- Did a solo cycling trip across Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

- Climbed Mt. Fuji in the middle of a typhoon! Didn't get to the summit though :(

- Travelled around Europe participating in working/travelling programmes such as WWOOF and Workaway (i.e. work in farms in exchange for accommodation and meals)

- Seen: Couchsurfers! I find it amazing how CS-ers offer their place to stay to other CS-ers who are strangers, whom they haven't even met face-to-face. Kindness is universal!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach you how to play guitar or drums if you want!

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I wish I could offer to cook some decent Malaysian food :( I just learned how to cook and am still a beginner. I can make 'kaya' though (Malaysian coconut jam)
