About Me

I am a rather simple down-to-earth guy who likes to travel and see around the world.
Generally I am quite open-minded and brave to explore new things and embark into new journeys, however I do have the nostalgic sentimental links back to my home and family.

Like movie and music, and eagerly to meet someone who have the same interests, or better still if you can share your favourites to me too.

Coffee is part of my daily life and if you are a caffeine addict too, let's go for cafe hopping in the city and spend a sunny weekend afternoon over reading a book or engaging in a conversation.

——————————————————————————
I’m currently embarking on my Europe backpacking trip from 6 November till 18 December 2023. This is the first time that I even step my feet on this continent and hopefully I can explore as many places as I could and meet up with nice people from here or along the journey. See you on the road!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I came across to know about Couchsurfing a few years back, and the idea struck me hard as it sounded exactly like what I would like to experience while travelling and backpacking. To get to know and interact with the locals, blending in their daily lifestyle and learning to see a place from different (local) perspective.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Chinese mandarin and simple Malay, and share with you the cultures and practices of the local multi racial society here; meanwhile I am eager and interested to learn some new stuff from you too, e.g. your native language, cooking a dish, playing a simple instrument etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am not a very good storyteller but learning to be, but I am definitely a good listener with patient ears to hear about your life and stories along the journey you travelled.
