Looking for a passionate, enthusiastic and fun loving guide to the Heritage city of Georgetown Penang? Welcome to my world then. . . . I am passionate about meeting peoples from all over the world, sharing with them my passions in food, my cultures, traveling, exploring something new, adventurous and yet different. My motto in life: carpe diem ( seize the day) and Hakuna Matata ( in Swahili it meant - no worries, be happy ). For I believe that life is meant to be lived to its fullest potential as we are passing by this life only once. I have an easy going personality, people says. Prior to making guiding as a full-time vocation, my life was dedicated to the MNC ( multinational company ) environment for 29 years. And the time is ripe for the major change to what I really love doing. . . I have been guiding for the last 10 years but only making it full time in the last 2 years. Am a licensed guide in Malaysia ( Tour guide license 14410 ) accredited by Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture, Msia.
