| With my Couch Surfing friends from Spain, Germany, Switzerland and Brazil |
My last trip was in January (end
of January) but I can’t wait to travel more! However, my job makes me difficult
to travel (sigh). So, what should I do when I am so into traveling but I can’t?
so I decided to join the Couch Surfing community, and get as many friends as
possible. I got it right when I would be able to welcome and meet new friends
who came to my hometown – Besut, a place for living J
Where do I live? That would be an
essential question. I live nearby Perhentian Island, about 8kn from the jetty.
FYI, Perhentian Kecil is rated as Top 10 (#6) in
CNN
GO World’s 50 Best Beaches. So, could I give reasons why I should be bored and not meeting the
tourist around the globe for coming here. Lol. This is the best opportunity to
make friends and I feel like traveling again. SERIOUSLY! Most of the tourists I
could notice so far are from Europe, but there are also from Japan, Tunisia,
and so forth. Therefore, I have a better chance to learn about Europe –
especially in terms of traveling tips, climate changes, cultural diversity and
of course the hot spots should I hit while in Europe. Ah, not to forget, the
do’s and the don’ts.
By far, I have met quite a number
from England, Belgium, Spain, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Brazil, Australia,
Finland, Tunisia, France, Italy and others. In fact, I hosted twice in 6
months, a Holland and an Australian girl. They are extremely friendly, polite
and kind. Thanks for coming Saskia and Ebba! I love to have both of you here
indeedJ.
The rest, I just met at the jetty and have drink together while enjoying the
conversation in the middle of gentle breeze in the late evening. Nearby the
sea. I love it that way!

Since I’m planning a serious and
long period trip in future (which I don’t know when.lol), I’m making as
many friends from Couch Surfing. Lots of them, so when I’m on my trip, I could
meet and visit them in person(crossing fingers – my wish). It would be great (I
believe so. Oohh! I cant wait!). not only from Europe, but I also make friends
from Egypt, Turkey and Pakistan as well, Husan Zeb. He lives in Swat, (known as
Switzerland in Asia). That would be my great pleasure to visit his place one
day!
Husan is a good friend, and will always be. He keeps inviting me to his hometown (of course I wanna go, but I cant travel alone at the moment), offering me to be his guest. Thanks Husan, and all of you I have mentioned above or I missed out (my apology for that), for entering my humble life. You make my life even wonderful and meaningful J. I’d appreciate and cherish you for that (with my heartfelt gratitude from the bottom of my sincere heart)
