About me:
Born and grew up in Sungai Petani, SP, a small town in northern Malaysia until I finished my high school. My hometown is much closer to Penang, about 40 min drive.
Independent, lacto-ovo vegetarian, easy going and open minded.

My PAST:
After high school, I worked in Singapore for 4 years from 2006 till 2010 and left Singapore to further my studies. Moved to Nilai about a year for study and then moved to KL/Klang valley for study (changed college) and worked in KL from 2012 till 2015. Since 2006, I’m started living on my own, more independently and away from family.

My CURRENT:
Since Oct 2015, I’m based in Johor Bahru, JB, the southern gateway to Malaysia and accessible to Singapore by road; I’m working in Singapore and commute daily to work from JB to Singapore.

My INTERESTS:
Open to new experiences.
Love outdoor activities like hiking, nature walk; cafe hunt, light cooking, learn your cultures/experiences and mobile photography. Also, can be said I’m an orophile!

I can host in JB, Malaysia if I’m available or not busy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A great platform to make some new friends, learn/share ideas, travel experiences and cultures.
Sometimes can be your friendly guide when I’m available. I’m happy to drive you around nearby places and sometimes even far if time permits.
As well, I can be your friendly host in JB, a city closer to Singapore if my place is available.

(ps: I’m not an expert but I can share whatever within my knowledges)
I’m not really a religious guy but more into spiritual vibes.
