About Me

Hello! I have lived an interesting life with many wonderful experiences at home in Malaysia, especially in my work as a Tour Guide in the rainforest, specialising in kayak excursions. A year ago I decided that I would like to travel and explore the world, planning to travel for three years. In June of 2015 I left Malaysia and arrived in England to stay for 6 months. I have made many friends and love the UK, I am now heading to see what Europe has to offer, and in time I'd like to explore South America. I love life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people and am a respectful house guest! Ideally to stay for a night or two as I travel so that I can make new friends and explore new places.

Interests

I am an accomplished guitarist, playing mostly Carnatic Raga. I enjoy Documentary films particularly about nature.
