Hey there!

My name is a bit long so just called me Amir.

I was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia but has spent almost entire of my childhood and teenage years in the eastern part of the country called Sabah. It's a lovely country known for its fantastic food culture and perfect for nature lover!

Currently, I'm studying engineering and live in Birmingham, United Kingdom. If you do come to Kuala Lumpur, Sabah or Birmingham, me and my family would love to host you (depending on my whereabout).

As a travel enthusiast and fellow backpacker, travelling to immerse myself in the spectacular nature can provide and meet up with its marvellous culture/people around the world is definitely my thing.

To this date, I've walked along the streets of 28 countries (just in three years). Usually I'm travelling with friends but quite often in solo.

I travel because of my love for history, culture, food and of course nature!

I don't smoke and don't drink alcohol but I have no problem hanging out with friends that does.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's fun to meet and spend time together with local people and other like-minded travellers.
