Hey there, fellow travelers and culture enthusiasts! I'm Hong, and I call Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, my home. I've always been captivated by the diverse tapestry of our world, and that's why I'm an avid traveler, hiker, photographer, and a country music enthusiast.

When I hit the road, I embrace the true essence of adventure as a backpacker, cultural explorer, and seeker of exciting experiences. For me, it's not just about visiting a place – it's about diving into its heart and soul, understanding the stories of its people, and learning how life unfolds in different corners of the world.

My philosophy is rooted in the belief that understanding a country's culture goes beyond surface-level interactions. I'm genuinely curious about how people live, the traditions they follow, and the stories that make their communities unique. It's this thirst for knowledge that fuels my travels and interactions.

Communication is key, and I'm fluent in English and Mandarin, along with a sprinkle of Malay, Cantonese, Hokkien, and Hakka. Language should never be a barrier when it comes to connecting with others.

As for expectations, I believe that every interaction is an opportunity for mutual respect and learning. Whether you're a fellow traveler looking for a place to crash or a local eager to share your culture, there are no fixed expectations from my end – let's just make the most of the experience together.

Oh, and here's a little something about me – I'm always on the lookout for the perfect fun fact, so feel free to surprise me with something intriguing when we meet!

My goal here on Couchsurfing is simple yet profound: I want to meet incredible people from all walks of life, soak in their cultures, and broaden my horizons one connection at a time. If you're as passionate about these things as I am, let's embark on this journey together.

Looking forward to connecting, sharing stories, and exploring the beautiful complexity of our world with you!
