CURRENT MISSION

Serving out the life time sentence of being a doctor. Also trying to plan a wedding overseas.

ABOUT ME

Laughs a lot. Former reporter, now doctor...i think 🤔 Loves cats. Loves mangoes. Speaks English in 4 or 5 different accents. Thinks air-conditioning, the oil and gas industry, bottled water and that guy that owns the fox broadcasting company are evil... For more ask me :D

I grew up in Brunei and moved to Newcastle in 2014. I love my new home and life here and am always wanting to explore more of the city and surrounding :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted a few people so far, part-time tour guide when I'm free. Meet up for coffees and give you as much advice as I can :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So I decided to take my guests to a remote waterfall... the video says it all.

Lying on the beach chatting about all things under the sun... correction, night sky.

Sitting on the streets of town saying "Hi" to everyone and assuming every foreigner got lost on the way to somewhere more exciting and landed in Brunei.

Sitting on the beach fully dressed with a scarf over to protect me from the sun while my couchsurfers were in bikinis sunbathing.
