About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I wanna reach all 7 continent.
Travel different area at China and India in one long trip, so that i can feel the variety of culture that it can offer.

ABOUT ME

Nothing special, just like everybody else.
The only different from people of my age at my place is that i would rather drive old car and save some money for the promo ticket rather than buy brand new car..haha

I would love to exchange idea about how people live in each country. Each country has it own unique system and culture.

PHILOSOPHY
"Now or never"
I would rather regret trying than regret without trying it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was indirectly introduced by friend of mine,Yeen. When he ask me to show his host which is a korean girl around Georgetown,Penang. As he is quite new to the city. She enjoy local food sugggested by me on street vendor very much. Then i start to realize, how i shud actually make friend with local if you really wanna have the best food.

Then, during our trip to Surabaya,Indonesia. Our Indonesian host (previously he is host by Yeen) wait for us at the airport till midnight as our floght delayed. Yet they can still smile when met us.They bring us to countryside area called Malang for their CS Gathering. We talk a lot.exchange idea on almost everyyhing from culture, education system and many more. I still remember when they bring us to one of the famous Bakso restaurant at Malang. The meat is so hot until you will cry after finished it. Not forgotten, they are the one who arrange such a great deal for Bromo Mountain Trip. Far cheaper from the other.

So, couchsurfing is not about free accomodation. It is about humanity, sharing and helping among people who share same passion.

Interests

Initially i love to mountainering and explore the jungle. Camping beside the river and sea really excite me.

The idea of backpacking start when i ask my friend for an xtra further and longer trip after our exam. Evrybody up for the shout, and then we embark for our first 11 days trip with zero knowledge. On our journey we met a lot of traveller around the world, sharing their experience and passion bout their trip. How they learn and blend with local culture. And that how i got trapped in this hobby.haha
