Hello! I'm a Remote and Freelance Writer from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia who is after life satisfaction beyond the four walls of a nine-to-five career path. I'm always hungry for a memorable adventure or journey to explore!

Amongst the things I love doing are DIY projects (woodworking, painting, macrame art, card-making), outdoor activities (hiking, waterfalls, cycling, trekking), cooking and more. I am a true believer in collecting experiences instead of material things. I'm also passionate about mental health and personal growth, and love deep conversations about life in itself.

PS: I am NOT interested to go on dates with anyone from CS, and if I do meet you it's because I'm interested in your stories as a traveller. Please use Tinder if you're looking to date/hook up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Perhaps being unable to travel while growing up has fuelled my unending wanderlust and now that I am financially independent, travelling and collecting new experiences is all I ever want to do.

Unlike staying in a fancy hotel, I believe that Couchsurfing would be able to give me an authentic travel experience from a local's point of view and I am more than ready to soak up the sights, sounds, smells and more from wherever it is in the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've backpacked solo to various countries across 3 continents on my own :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you English, conversational Mandarin and Cantonese, introduce to you some of our amazing Malaysian food and multi-racial culture, and share some wonderful conversations about life itself.

I could really use some company whom is fun to talk to and loves some good wine! ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you do stay with me in Kuala Lumpur, I will be able to show you around and bring you to places you won't be able to find on TripAdvisor ;) Also, amazing food, if you're half as greedy as I am, haha.

When I'm staying with you, I can - teach you conversational Mandarin and Cantonese, cook you Malaysian or Chinese meals, write brochures, pamphlets and essays, amongst others (I write perfect English!), do social media work (I specialise in SEO content marketing and am very well-versed with social media platforms and how they work), help you with whatever it is you are working on. I am extremely flexible and self-sufficient.
