About Me

Hi, I’m Kal!

I’m an outgoing person with a sharp sense of humor and a big heart. When I commit, I go all in, whether it’s helping someone in need or sharing a laugh over a good story.

Freedom drives me, but personal growth keeps me grounded. For me, travel isn’t about ticking boxes or Instagram posts, it’s about expanding horizons, meeting incredible people, and realizing how small our worries are in this vast, beautiful world.

I love connecting with locals over coffee or a meal, diving into the essence of the cities they call home. If you’re in town, I’d be happy to host you in my Studio apartment and, when I have time, show you around or share some great conversations over dinner.

‼️About Hosting‼️

If I’m available, I can host in emergency situations or if you can’t get one and really need a place to stay. However, I can only offer a short stay of 1 to 2 nights as I have a busy work schedule.

When hosting, I can meet for dinner and show you around some areas, but I won’t be able to be your guide during the day. Weekends are usually reserved for my parents, but I’m free to spend time in the evenings. That said, I’m always reachable if you need any support during your trip in KL.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe everyone carries a unique story, some sweet, some bitter, all deeply human. Life is short, and we can’t possibly experience everything ourselves. But through meeting people from different walks of life, we get a glimpse of the feelings, struggles, and joys we may never encounter otherwise.

Each person I meet offers a new awakening, a different perspective, and inspiration to see the world in ways I hadn’t imagined. Couchsurfing isn’t just about travel for me—it’s about connecting with the stories that make us all beautifully different yet universally the same.

Interests

I’m deeply fascinated by people, their stories, and the rich diversity of cultures around the world. I’m always curious and open to exploring things I’ve yet to discover, whether it’s a new perspective, a hidden tradition, or an unexpected experience.
