Couch Surfing (CS) and Hospitality Club (HC) - Friends III

One fine day.... I got a message from a member from Hospitality Club, stewgreen ....

Hi this Stew Green and Selva (username selva) from HC in KL we will becvoming to KK on Monday stay a few days Selva will go back Friday me ...a week or so later ... any of you KK guys want to meetup

I haven't been hosting anyone for quite sometime though met up with some CS and HC friends who visited KK. So, I replied that it's great to meet up and gave them my phone number.

Stewart and Selva having coconut drink and a not-so-impressive normal dish in Tg Aru foot court, a place we went after the usual hang-out place I bring visitor to, Fu Yuan in Damai was closed on Mon.

Stewart and Selva put themselves up in Lucy's Homestay, quietly tucked in the "printer-street" of KK and next to the City Police Station. Talking about safety huh?

Both Stewart and Selva are active members of HC in KL and they are enthusiastic about the whole HC concept and like to meet and talk to people. Personally I enjoyed their company and listening to their funny travel and hosting stories really made up my day and definitely lots of lessons learnt as well.

Stew is currently staying in Malaysia and his knowledge of Malaysia can certainly beat most of the Malaysians, especially the youngsters as he is very aware and learned about Malaysian society, politically too. A real traveller who's interested in knowing in-depth about the place he's in. Selva is a easy-going and good conversation partner who's very experienced in life and both his travel stories and his career stories are very interesting. Thanks for the advice pal!

They rented a car and did routes that even I, as the local Sabahan also never went on before. They drive from Kota Belud to Ranau using the hilly road, went half way towards Pitas-Nangoh new road and drive from Ranau to Tambunan, which is in very bad condition. True blue travellers who know how to enjoy their travel, I hope they enjoy their trip here (for Selva, a short one) and all the best for the rest of exploration in East side for Stewart. Hope to see you two and other HC members in KL!!!
