I am from Malaysia and trained as a medical doctor.

Life slowly showed me that my skills and interests lie more in healthcare programming and operations as compared to sitting in a clinic or working in a hospital.

I received a scholarship from the EU to do the Erasmus Mundus Public Health in Disasters program which brought me to Spain and Sweden. I ended up interning for the WHO in Geneva and now with UNICEF's Office of Innovation. Ive been to about 25+ countries in my lifetime and currently back in the motherland.

I like to travel, meet new people, learn new things and experience new cultures. I'm quite easy going, chill and relaxed.

I also post pictures of my travels on IG @dr.collinsofficial (I have this lame handle because I use it to apply for conferences and things. 😆)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because hotels are really overrated and I am a poor intern. I also like to meet new people and hear stories about travels and experiences.

Interests

I am 31, a medical doctor by training with several years of experience with nonprofits. I like to see and experience new things. I used to do some photography when I was younger but now it's more of a hobby. I like going on roadtrips, watching movies, hanging out, etc. More of a chill vibe ☺️

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything, anything! Particular soft spot for techno, electo and house music. But can really listen to just about anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to survive! xD
But more realistically, I once won this massive competition with a team of 4 other people that i'd never met before. Will tell you about it if you wanna know =)
