Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

just found out this cool website

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a great BBQ party with CSs from Colombia, Argentina, USA, Australia, Thailand and Malaysia. It's so cool to exchange culture of different countries at one time. Looking forward to the next one.

Interests

I like to collect fossils (yes dinosaur, trilobite and so) around the world, I know it's a rare interest but if you're interested, pls don't mind to share with me.

I'm also a "UNESCO Heritage Sites" collector, currently have been to 194 of them.

I also like to discover the nature and different kind of culture. I play basketball too to keep myself fit enough to travel around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gone all the way up to Jungfrau Mountain and got half naked. Well, you just have to do something memorable when you feel the snow for the first time in your life. And I wasn't alone that time!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a Malaysia's licensed tourist guide, that's what my passion of traveling driven me to be. I like sharing cool places, food and ideas, especially about Malaysia the country I grown up in. I like to share and learn language too. I'm learning Spanish now and I can teach you Mandarin. And of course, I like to listen and learn things from others. Everyone is a teacher to me, just that you don't realize yet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Languages and dialects exchange: English, Mandarin, Malay, Spanish.
Experience and travel stories around the world.
Archaeological and paleontology information.
Or just simply my ears :)
