A typical INFP, if you read "Surrounded by Idiots" I'm the color of Green and Yellow.

How time passes by so fast! In 2015 I went to a couchsurfing meetup in Penang Mugshot Cafe. Met up a bunch of travelers and locals. Get to know one of the traveler was traveling to the same destination where I was traveling too, we end up become good friends until now. Throughout these 10 good years, I'm still using it while I'm traveling every where to meet new traveler or surf on the couch. My POV regarding to couchsurfing isn't just about FREE space or FREE tour that you get; it's the heart you willingly to open up to explore different cities and meeting kindness people around the world.

It's a really good organization until the pandemic hit and I stopped for almost 3 years due to the world lockdown. Here I am again, on my journey to find out what I am capable of to different challenges. "Happiness is a journey not a destination" always~ do what excite you and don't be afraid to exploring the world again and you only live once, don't make any regrets but memories. Peace :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After I've tried a couple times of traveling with this community, I've found that this is really a good place to experience humanity, also when I travel; I preferred to travel like a local than a tourist. I guessed I've just found a place where I can called "home" when I'm traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share you my travel/life experiences or testimony from God and if you need some to design or product photo can do it for you.

In my country, i only do meet up with people so i could sharing the knowledge or stories to you if you like to. I would like to learn yours as well and open my ears to listen your story as well~

As a Malaysian it's not a big issue to know more than 5 languages + dialects. Let me know if you're interested to learning any languages that i basically knew, i could teach you some sentence or easiest way for learning.

I couldn't compliment myself that i'm a 100% great driver on the road but 99% great skill! Let me know if you have a trouble with side parking skill or any driving skill you would like to learn, i could teach you by either showing you or sit beside you teach you how you're gonna drive!
