About Me

Hi there, I am easy-going, love to explore new things and challenge my comfort zone from time to time. To me, having a life with stories and memorable moments is far more exciting than owning luxurious bags and clothes. We only live once! Enjoy life! Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy interact with the local while traveling. Had amazing experience engaged with Japanese friends and hosts (Airbnb). Just learn about CS lately and think this would be a great way of traveling. I appreciate different in culture and perspective (and I am well trained as I being born in a multiracial country - Malaysia) =)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Japan for 4 months last year. I missed engaging with the locals and learning their way of living. To had live like a Japanese is the coolest thing I have done (although only for short period of time).

Miss hiking Takaoshan, snowboarding, sightseeing, hanging around the drug store and grocery market, and of course FujiQ!

Work like a Japanese! Working 12 hours a day in the laboratory (live like a scientist @_@) (6 days/week)
