About Me

A gentleman most of the time and a wild child when I can be. Probably a bit of a geek once you get to know me! Don't worry though, I wont geek out on you unless you force me to (which I wouldn't mind, not gonna lie). I've done a decent bit of traveling and want to see and experience as much of the world as possible. I'm an extrovert sometimes but also introvert when I can be. However, I also really enjoy snuggling at home chilling with a series, movie or some gaming.

I'm always keen to try new experiences whether it's food or a hobby or something completely different all together.

Right now I head marketing, analytics and tech for a video analytical startup based in PJ. I love the relaxed atmosphere and the family-like culture there. I can't imagine myself being stuck in some suffocating cubicle all day working for some faceless corporation, so this is perfect for me.

My humour is a mix of sarcasm and weirdness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I also do a decent bit of traveling. Within the past year I've been to all over SEA, by backpacking. It's fun to travel the old ways, bus, or train or even hitchhiking. I love getting a taste of different cultures and enjoying the local flavour of food.

I find Couchsurfing awesome because of the mix of people I meet here. Not matter if I'm hosting them or just showing them around, I often find people with the same DNA with me.

Interests

I'm really into music. I know what you're thinking - who isn't? But it's actually a pretty meaningful and important part of my life. I listen to a lot of different genres - but I'm really into Classic Rock and Alternative Rock right now. I also love live music and festivals and usually spend my Saturdays in an "old man" pub rocking out to Stones or Sabbath.

I also spend a lot of my time reading. Let me know if you have a Goodreads account and we can exchange links.

6 stuff I love:
1. Music. If I ever go deaf, that will probably be it for me.
2. Beer. I love my Tiger, or even Guinness on occasions.
3. My Laptop. Work and fun happens here.
4. Food. I'm a big foodie.
5. My books. Now I just read my books on my iPod.
6. Ciggs & 420's
