CURRENT MISSION To see as much of the world as time allows and before I become a pauper! ABOUT ME Always a happy and a joyful person. I can be pretty quiet at times with strangers but once I open up, I can be a pleasure to be with and witty too. Makes people laugh and like to laugh myself silly! Love travelling and always on the lookout for a partner to travel. I became a diabetic in 2013 and have to be very careful with what I put into my mouth!! PHILOSOPHY "Love and enjoy life to the fullest''. ''I am afraid of people who are nice to me but if you are bad to me, you will get hell''. I am not afraid to give people a 'mouthful' if they step on my toes and step out of line! ''When in Rome, do as the Romans do''. I believe in ''Give & Take'', and "What you Give, you will Receive Manifolds''. I will give references ''Without Fear or Favor'' and will always ''Tell the Truth, The Whole Truth, Nothing But The Truth, so help me God!''

我为什么使用Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have been informed about CS Org. some time ago but did not join for fear of being taken advantage of and dislike freeloaders! I became a member in 2012 as I was travelling with a CSer to UK. I work part-time therefore have lots of time on my hands to do what I love most ...... travelling and exploring countries that take my fancy. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My husband Charles is a member of an International Service Org. and as such, we have hosted many people coming from all over the world in our humble home since 1980's. The longest we hosted was a Japanese student exchange for 3 months. My first surfing experience with CS was when I went to the UK in April 2012. It has been a very fantastic experience staying with many CSers, eating their local and ethnic food, sleeping on floors, sofas and even having a room to myself. The short time spent with them was memorable and I learnt a lot including weighing rice for each person to be cooked.

教学、学习、分享
Friends have called me up to seek advice on travelling to certain places. Well, being a somewhat well heeled traveller, I am able to give my advice and opinion. I can share and teach how to cook a favourite Malaysian dish or two.

Though I am not a qualified teacher, I can teach English when I am approached. I can also give advice on traveling to the countries and places I have been. I am also a "Jill of All Trades but Mistress of none!" I can cook a few delicious Malaysian dishes...
