Originally from Sabah, a city East of Malaysia on the island of Borneo. I left home when I was 17 and the majority of my 20´s having been spent overseas in Australia studying and now working at Brisbane Airport.

I am mostly made out of wine and have an intense passion for adventure; to immerse myself in subcultures, meeting all kinds of people, and to be completely infatuated by all the splendour and woe travel has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to explore, and that includes people; How they live, what they eat, what they see, their culture, language, art, music, philosophies, traditions, and take on life.

Interests

Other than traveling, I love red wine, window seats, scuba diving, music, coffee, heights (the higher, the better), naps, dogs, FOOD, movies and Russian history.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I trekked the Himalayas and completed the Annapurna Base Camp circuit.

Teach, Learn, Share

Each time I travel, I learn a little bit more about the world and in turn I learn more about myself. People often say that traveling makes you more open-minded, but I think it's the people you meet that do that, no matter where you are.
