CURRENT MISSION
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine
Travel around the world, meet Travellers and make new friends, live a happy simple life. Life is too short not to know the people from other part of the world and foreigners. The world will be a better place if we ignore our identity, nationality, race, language, religion, skin colour, our education but be humble human. ATTENTION: For personal safety and security reasons, for those who send a couch request, please provide a valid identification using your passport documents before I can host you.

ABOUT ME

I am free, open-minded, friendly and easygoing person. I like honest and good manner/ polite travellers. I can offer advices and tips to explore new places in Sabah.
Any CS members want to make a couch request, please state 3 or 4 reasons why you want to stay with me. The CS spirit/ objective is a platform to get to know people or make new CS friends around the world. For your info, my home is NOT a Hostel or Hotel but a place for travellers to know me and I know you as a person and a traveler. I will only host member who can give 2 or 3 reasons WHY you want to stay at my place. We provide free accommodation , not a hostel or hotel because I believe we can be friends for a life time and make the world a better place for others to learn from and respect each other. Making friends is easier than creating enemies. Just look at today's world how divided our leaders and countries fighting and killing each other and innocent lives. Age is a number and what count is share and communication face to face is the key when you stay at anyone home.
