Hello fellow Couchsurfers! (◕‿◕✿) I haven't been here in a while but I'm back now ~

My name is Dorothy and I am from Malaysia. Nice to meet you! I am a university graduate and I majored in Psychology. North Borneo is my birthplace but I enjoy escaping reality once in a while. It would be a pleasure to make friends from all over the world! ( ･ὢ･ )

I have just finished my studies and now I plan to pursue my dream of travelling the world and becoming a full-time vlogger :D I have saved up for many years to turn this dream into a reality, so it’s now or never!

My YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@dillydallydotunhingedchaos

One fun fact about me is that I have taken up around 11 different jobs (part-time & full-time) and 2 apprenticeships in the last 7 years since I graduated high school! As a result, I was always burnt out because I studied for my degree full-time simultaneously (sometimes the jobs even overlap so in one semester I can have up to 3 part-time jobs) 🥲

Anyway, here’s a toast to the start of my journey! I hope to meet many wonderful people here, and I can’t wait to exchange life stories and experiences 🤍

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Apart from travelling on a tight budget (student things rip), I've been working and studying so much that sometimes I feel like I've forgotten to live, so here I am :)

I have a few friends from all over the world and those friendships have been very rewarding (and lasting), so I feel like it wouldn't hurt to expand that circle. It feels exciting to be a part of something bigger than my own little world and for that I am thankful ❤️

In the future, I do hope to be able to host others as well and show others around the city of Kuala Lumpur or my hometown in Sabah, depending on where I am at that point in time :) My mother would also be more than happy to prepare a meal with the organic fruits and veggies that she grows in the backyard 🤭

Interests

I love vlogging in my free time, but sometimes I just vlog my daily life too haha. My youtube channel is “dilly dally dot”, but I haven’t uploaded anything in a while because I got too busy. Hopefully my next trip will give me the motivation and inspiration to post another vlog! 😆

Music, Movies, and Books

Top 3 all-time fav songs:

- Hymn for the Weekend by Coldplay
- Patience by Hollow Coves
- Saturn by Sleeping At Last

Give them a listen and perhaps you will have an idea of who I am based on these songs 👀 Although honestly, my music taste is a melting pot of everything. I listen to alternative rock, alternative pop, k-pop, j-pop, c-pop, rap, EDM, lo-fi, etc.

Interstellar is the movie I love the most, I think I've watched it 7 - 9 times already and I don't think I will ever get tired of it 😭

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not sure I've done anything worthy of being called amazing but I once won a national-level photography competition and got the chance to represent my country in Japan ヾ(･ω･｡)ｼ I made so many friends from all over the world, some of which I still keep in touch with to this day（‐＾▽＾‐）

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you all about my culture ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ) and in the same way I'd love to learn about yours too. I belong to a native indigenous race in Sabah which is in East Malaysia, and I think my culture is quite unique. I would love to share about it if you’re willing to listen ~

Also, if my host happens to like music or art I'll be more than happy to share my favourites ( ◞･౪･) I can teach you the Malay language if you'd like, and I can share my experiences and Malaysian snacks too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

What is valuable to you? Tell me. Let's be friends, and I'll lend an ear or a shoulder whenever you need. If you collect coins or currency from different countries, do tell me. I can give you some Malaysian ones ^_^ I can also be your lunch time companion or someone to share snacks or desserts with (*^▽^*)ゞ

I am an avid collector of stickers, washi tape, and other stationeries like sticky notes, pens, and postcards, so I am more than willing to share some if you’d like :)
