About Me

I'm a kid embarking on a journey towards his goals and dreams. Hoping to write a story of his own!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Very recently, I joined another friend of mine to try couchsurfing for the very first time! At first, I was a little bit skeptical about the idea as i never stayed with a stranger before, but after trying it, i was very surprised with the experience!

Not only did i get to make new alot friends but i also learned alot from my couchsurfing experience! It really inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and further venture into couchsurfing!

The sole purpose of being into couch surfing is to make new friends and meet new people! Also, i would really love to get to know more about other cultures as well! The world is huge and i'd really love to see what the other side of the world can present!

Besides, why not help other travellers like me out too! After all, as a student, i have quite alot of time so why not show others around when i have the time :)

NOW! LET ME TELL YOU WHY I CLAIM THAT I AM ON COUCHSURFING TO MEET NEW PEOPLE!

Because of one simple reason! I CAN AFFORD MY OWN ACCOMMODATION

Interests

I'm a sunday kick-about footballer and a die hard Manchester United fan. Also, I'm a avid cyclist and currently cycling for a local amateur cycling club. sometimes, I'll go for a game of bowling.

Occasionally, I play the piano and I've got a passion for cooking too. Slowly working to my goal of opening my very own jazz bar in the future.

Like most young individuals, i love to travel and see the world. Hoping to meet new people and opening my eyes to wider horizons.

Well, for the rest of my spare time, i'd love to spend it with a good company and good food!

Teach, Learn, Share

Lets start with sharing!

Stories, experiences, culture... these are all the common things that everyone can share with you but i can share with you something more than that... i can share with you something money cannot buy... Time and company!

Now teaching!

I love to cook and malaysia is known for their vast variety of food... So i would love to teach some local recipes with you! If you dare to try :P

Language... For those of you whose English isn't your first Language... I would be more than happy to teach you and help you practice it! Also, i can teach you a little bit of Bahasa Malayia (Malay) if you're interested... and also some chinese dialects too! At the same time, i would love to learn your language!

And these brings us to Learn...

Learning is a never ending process so i'd love to learn anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Primarily, I'll love to share my knowledge, experiences and my culture with hosts.

As a young and enthusiastic individual, i see this as an opportunity to learn new things and meet new people.

Also, I love to cook so hopefully i can share a piece of Malaysia with my hosts
