About Me

Sophisticated yet simple. As much as I love eating, travelling and seeing the world has been part of me since I came to know that I don't need to afford it to see it. I am a runner by dawn, an educator by day, a gym rat when possible and a student by evening. My kind of travel style is to spend less or none on accommodation, but more on food and experience. That brings me to hostels or couchsurfing!

The grass is never greener on the other side, its greener where you water and nurture it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet new people as I travel, either by surfing or just meeting up for a drink or even sharing a meal. I hope to give other surfers the best experience surfing, to feel welcomed and at ease at home, after all those long travels, it always feel good to have a 'home' for a while.

Interests

I spend most of my time reading stories of back packers travelling around the world. I would do research as well on places that I would love to visit in the future. Making new friends on travel page and webpage is another fun activity for me too!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening to all kinds of music with no preference to any.

One of my favourite books would be on running and motivational series/self help and development books.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you what is good to eat around here, how to get to certain places as well as to make you feel as homely as possible while you stay with me, part of our Malaysian hospitality. Aside from that, I can offer you friendship that lasts more than just a host and a surfer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nothing much except a gift of friendship, but if you need me to cook you something really Malaysian, I might be able to, with all the ingredients available. Aside from that, I can also go for a run if you are up for it. I can also share my experiences traveling in certain places.
