Personal Description

My 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 Experience

Hosted 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 :)

Interests

Non-profit. Hiking. Basketball. Some running/football. Languages. Photography. People, culture, nature.

Anything that I enjoy while I am at it...

Philosophy

Right now, if you think i'm your friend, I'll be - Golden rules apply, of course :)

Come as you are!

Music, Movies, Books

Sci-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 enjoy

Look 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, Share

Travel 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 Done

Hiking to 4000++meter Mount. Kinabalu, eat snake in China, try to speak Flemish/Acehnese/Indonesian...

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

Hassle 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! :)

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.

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

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. He cruised with us through the city and showed us cool places - yeah! On top he is always up for a conversation about pretty much everything. We just clicked and will definitely meet again someday!

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 !

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 ;)

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 ! :-)

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.

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!

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!

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!

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! :)

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.
