Personal DescriptionMy friend said I am easy-going, accommodating and friendly...I think so too? :)
After spending the past 10 years studying and working in engineering field, I finally decided to give myself a break. For the past one-year I am 100% into non-profit - now I will start my student life again - will pursue my Masters in Regional Integration for one year.
So I'm changing...to be exact learning to change and changing myself to learn...maybe my stories(blog) can give you some updated clues!
CouchSurfing ExperienceHosted many in Kuala Lumpur, being hosted in China and Hong Kong - CSing was great in Hong Kong and Guangzhou! CS in Belgium never sleeps (the clubbing starts too late for a Malaysian ;p) Now that I've started my new life as a Master student in Malaysia, I hope all the CSers out there will receive me with open arms :)
InterestsNon-profit. Hiking. Basketball. Some running/football. Languages. Photography. People, culture, nature.
Anything that I enjoy while I am at it...
PhilosophyRight now, if you think i'm your friend, I'll be - Golden rules apply, of course :)
Come as you are!
Music, Movies, BooksSci-fi, Pop, rock, drumNbass, alternative, NatGeo...anything interesting, I guess :) Recently I 'revived' my good old memories of Japannese Drama and some Korean movies...interesting journey to the past!
Types of People I enjoyLook at my current Personal Philosophy??? I mean, just be who you are! You always wanted simple maths back in school, so don't make your (other's) life difficult, shall we? :)
Teach, Learn, ShareTravel experience. Languages that I spoke. Culture from where I came from and/or interacted. Non-profit related. A bit of politic maybe. Things about nature, human and if you wish, civil engineering :) I would like to learn...Flemish/Dutch, European/world history and of course, survive Antwerp! One Amazing Thing I've Seen or DoneHiking to 4000++meter Mount. Kinabalu, eat snake in China, try to speak Flemish/Acehnese/Indonesian...
Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org ProjectHassle free. Straight to the point. Ichi-ban! Tailor-made for those who share the same philosophy, citizens of the Earth.
Glad to see CS is growing fast now so keep up the good works, everyone! :)

From Grazyna Pulawska Kobylka, Poland Jun 20, 2009 Positive Low is a very positive and open minded person. I like talking with him as well as enjoying simple things like cooking together or going for a walk. At work we used to cooperate on regular basis. Later on I enjoyed visiting him as a friend.
From Jacklyn Goh Simferopol', Ukraine Jan 26, 2009 Positive Despite the initial 1-day request, KC has been kind enough to provide us with a last-min 2-days stay. (Thanks also to his flatmate, Anisa for the additional bed.) Thankz for the night-tour. It's comfortable to talk and have a chat with him. Hope to see you in the future. Maybe back in Malaysia or in Ukraine? :P
From DIEFEE Bonn, Germany Jan 5, 2009 Positive Hey, finally I get to write a few lines about this great fella! :) He hosted my boyfriend and me in KL and made us really feel at home.

From Alexandre Mazari Budapest, Hungary Aug 30, 2008 Positive KC was a really nice person to meet, sadly he had to flight back very soon, so we did not had the occasion to share a lot.
That gives him a reason to come back, he is so welcome here !
From Sietske Zeinstra Brussels, Belgium Aug 20, 2008 Positive KC was my first guest, and I couldn't have had a better experience. First he politely called me to say he was late and if I was ok with that. Then we went through town, he cooked us dinner and when we ended up in a gay bar he didn't even complain :) Technically he hasn't even surfed my couch because we were out partying the whole night, hehe. I had a great time! Cheers KC, and maybe see you next week ;)
From Dirk De Troch Dendermonde, Belgium Aug 4, 2008 Positive He was my co-pilot and co-beer-taster at the event. He seems like the type of person who is always eager to learn new things and is always willing to share his knowledge. Hope to see you again sometime (I'll prepare the vegetarian dish then)
From Ranganathan Venkatasubramanian Chennai, India Aug 3, 2008 Positive Was really nice talking to KC and yeah we share the same language makes us closer. Had a fun time with him during the brewery meeting and hope to see him again soon in Antwerp eating Dosa :)) cheers man!! keep having fun
From Sven Delmeiren Gent, Belgium Jul 31, 2008 Positive I met KC at the Gentse Feesten when he attended one of our meetings.

From Amy Wang Antwerp, Belgium May 23, 2008 Positive KC is an interesting guy; we talked and shared a lot of experience of eastern and western countries. I hope to share more with him in the near future!

From Bruno Landgoed Antwerp, Belgium May 8, 2008 Positive I met KC several times now and I must say : I really like this guy ! :-).
He arrived just a few weeks in my town but he became a very active CS-member. Since he did the same thing as me (abandoning his job for doing something more usefull) I immediately felt comfortable talking to him. And we can talk about a lot of things together ! I definitely gonna meet this positive, cheerfull guy a lot in the coming weeks. Terimakasi, KC ! :-)
From Bart Dammekens Antwerp, Belgium May 6, 2008 Positive I met KC on several meetings here in Antwerp. He's a compleet cool dude ! Always ready to give a different opion of thinking. He's is full of energy and open-mindness. I really like when KC is around. Hope to see you more @ the meetings here in Antwerp
From Kiruba Shankar Chennai, India Mar 3, 2008 Positive KC was the first person to respond to my request for a couch in KL. Even though we had less than a day together, he made it really count. What I really like about him is his sense of humor and his ability to break ice real quick. He makes for interesting conversation and a great guy to spend time with.
From Shelomita Savitri Jakarta, Indonesia Feb 25, 2008 Positive I like KC! He's calm as a willow and fun as a chipmunk. Point is.... he's great!!!
PS: i tried to vouch you 3 times but CS said i can't like someone that much. So there....
From Ellie Stahl Garberville, United States Feb 8, 2008 Positive Thank you KC so much for the extra room at your place in KL. I don't we didn't have enough time to really hang out or talk much, but thank you anyways for the nice accommodation and picking me up. He is a great guy and has a great place outside the bustling city of KL!
From Gael De Crevoisier Montauban, France Jan 2, 2008 Positive KC welcome us few days in KL, and we felt totally at home with him. We enjoyed lot of discuss and dinner together. Even busy and with an impredicted coming back from our part, he still found time to rescue us. Hope to have opportunity to meet him again somewhere

From Blair Dunton New Territories East, China Jun 20, 2007 Positive KC is a really cool laid back guy. I only wish we had had more time to hang out. Looking forward to seeing him on his home turf
From Jenny Tai Shanghai, China Jun 13, 2007 Positive KC is a great person, very genuine and great to talk to. I gave extremely short notice but he was kind to receive me, plus although we spent a very short time together, from his family I learnt what a great person he is. Extremely insightful and intelligent guy! Hope to meet up again!
From Linda Zouyu Luzern, Switzerland Jun 4, 2007 Positive He is the first guest who i hosted from Asia. to my surprise, I found so many things in common on our spirit which would be hardly founded on western people. See you again in malaysia!!!! Make up for our first hug:-)
I still can not believe that we met again in this May holiday, and he retured the favor to me, took care everything for me, we had great time together.
Now I am planning to visit malaysia again in this month!!!!!!!!
From KAYINHK Hong Kong Island, China Feb 20, 2007 Positive KC was a polite and friendly houseguest, and is a keen promoter of the Couchsurfing cause.
From Rebecca and Adam Cotterell Boise, United States Feb 19, 2007 Positive We met KC for lunch while we were passing through KL. He was interesting and funny, but we forgot to try speaking in Chinese! He'd be a great person to meet up with or surf with whenever you're in Kuala Lumpur. We'd meet up with him again anytime!
From Basim Salih Colombo, Sri Lanka Jan 22, 2007 Positive KC was polite, talkative, interessting. I had a nice time at his place.

From Joshua Channell Oakland, United States Nov 23, 2006 Positive KC, you're a great guy and a great tour guide. Thanks for taking us to such cool places and for the wade through the poo, roaches and rats. Anyone else and I would have refused, but you made it look like such fun!! I can't wait to reciprocate in our neighborhood - I'll start scouting some places now. Come and visit soon!
From Ying Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Nov 19, 2006 Positive KC-He's a rocker, a muse, a great friend and an excellent host! We met through Cyril, our French guest, and voila, what do you know, we hit it off like old friends. We had some of the best conversations at 4am after a night of crazy Karaoke and food. Easy going, cool and extremely friendly-KC's one to look for when you want a fantastic stay in KL.
After a long time of hanging out together...
I must say that KC makes it to one of my close friends list. Our friendship may be short but we share an uncanny similar vision of life. We both want to inspire and make a difference..bit by bit. Some may find KC very honest and maybe even blunt, but that's how he is-strong, indomitable and speaks his mind. He is very visionary...and I won't be surprised if he turns out to be an icon someday. Hats off to you, big bro!
From Amy Lim Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Nov 18, 2006 Positive We hang around a couple of hours when hosting a friend from The States. Though it's short, but he gave me a positive vibration. Hope to hang out together more in the future! =)
From Jessica Tan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Nov 18, 2006 Positive KC...Met him through another CSer and had a great time, even though just for few hours! Definately looking forward to meet again to dig his little secret :P
From crystal_marie34 Oak Harbor, United States Oct 23, 2006 Positive KC was a wonderful host for my husband and I in KL. He has loads of maps and information about the city and met up with us to go to dinner in china town. we had lots of fun chatting and were greatful that he even came to pick us up after midnight and take us back to the train station at 5am. what a great guy!
From Nancy Fowler Victoria, Canada Oct 16, 2006 Positive KC was such a great host an a wonderful introduction to Malaysian culture and hospitality! Picked us up from downtown, took us to China town, dinner, nightclubs, even gave up his own bedroom for my friend Michelle and I! He is a leader that I hope to meet again. Thanks KC!
From Marc Groep van der Heerhugowaard, Netherlands Oct 7, 2006 Positive Low is a very nice and open person.
We are telling one another our daily things in life. I hope to meet him when i'm in KL
From CYCY2.0 Paris, France Sep 20, 2006 Positive What could I say? I just had an excellent time with this guy. KC is a super cool lad, always ready for a drink and a very very interesting person. His points of view about life are just excellent ... and Oh Yes, I almost forgot that, he is THE singer of Kuala Lumpur, he should be the next "One in a million" Winner. Thanks for all the good time man and that burger was just perfect ;)
From Michael Lüdeke Bonn, Germany Sep 16, 2006 Positive Deep thoughts and philosiphying. You know that you have a special person as a host, when the superficial get-to-know-phrases get skipped, when you talk about the important, about the interesting, about the essential. Low gave us insights into chinese history (and tea traditions ;), drove us through town and got us back safely. He brought us to places tourists seldom see (the stares of the locals proved it :) and showed us, what kind of wonderful food there is in Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur was different through him. And my world as well.
Keep up the good spirit, Low! And good luck with all your projects - world moving or not! :)
From Lorenzo Costanzo Sydney, Australia Aug 30, 2006 Positive Low is a cool mate, always ready to get to know foreigners from all over the world..and knows where to go and have some tasssty local food!
From Agnes Lam Kowloon, Hong Kong Aug 5, 2006 Positive KC is a very serious traveller that he likes to have a good understanding of a place before going on a trip. He is a very funny guy with lots to share. I enjoy every time sharing with him.
From Marcelo Rosa Sao Paulo, Brazil Jul 30, 2006 Positive He took for a walk around chinatown in kuala lumpur, we drunk a beer, ate some food and shared a lot of experiences. Really nice guy!!
From Jessie James (not the cowboy) Quezon, Philippines Jul 23, 2006 Positive KC-the forest ranger. everytime i see huge green trees, they would remind me of KC. not because he lives there but because the showed me that concrete and woods can blend together in a city-and thats only in KL! im very happy that he was able to show me around coz i learned so much from him especially about nature. cool guy, brought me to places that other people dont know about. definitely a person to visit and host as well. where's my halo-halo man? hahaha! take care and lets make that trip of ours happen! -james
From Scott Carney Brooklyn, United States Jul 22, 2006 Positive Reference This. KC has a plan to change the world and I think it might jsut work. He put me up for a couple nights and talked about race politics in Malaysia until the wee hours. It was three weeks ago and I'm still thinking about it. If he comes knocking on your door I suggest you let him in. |
