I'm originally from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I have been living in London for over 13 years and now I'm a British citizen. I used to work for HSBC Bank in Kuala Lumpur for 5 years before I started my career as an actor in London. Besides acting, I worked at the Curzon Soho cinema, an art house independent cinema in Central London, for 13 years and I have learned about many aspects of the film industry and the culture. I speak fluent English, Malay and Tamil and basic conversational Cantonese and un poco Espanol.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In May 2016 I'm going to Dharamsala, India, to learn to be a yoga teacher for a month. After this training depending on how I feel, I'd like to travel around India and visit places, meet people and eat those lovely food and do what a newcomer in India do.

Interests

I like to watch films, go for walks, practice yoga and cook my favourite dish, Dhal curry.
