About Me

I am a Malaysian currently based in Hamburg, Germany! I was living in Europe for the past 7 years and only moved back to Malaysia in 2019 for work and now back to Europe again. While I was studying in Europe, I started travelling a lot whenever I can and I am totally in love with it :) Something that I value a lot during my travels is looking into local culture. I love to see new stuffs and taste typical local cuisine and that's something that motivates me a lot to travel to underrated places. Also I love learning new languages by speaking to local people :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Probably the best way to meet new friends and experience how local people live, discovering hidden gems in the city

Interests

I love sports a lot! I am a die hard Manchester United fan and EPL matches are my weekly routine and I can talk all night long about football :) Other sports I like include badminton, tennis (#TeamRoger), basketball, rugby, etc. I enjoy cooking as well ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love rock, oldies and pop music, although a little of classical music at times wouldn't hurt. Techno music is really not my type, so definitely prefer bars over clubs. I am more of a movie guy than series guy. Any movie with great story line is good for me. I don't really have a specific genre that I prefer, it really depends on my mood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving home for France when I was 18 in 2012
Attending the World Youth Day in Krakow 2016 and in Lisbon 2023
Watching a World Cup match in Russia 2018
Working in a husky safari in the Finnish Lapland in 2018
Cycling around Taiwan in 2019
Cycling the Camino from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela in 2024

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach different languages that I know and I am an eager language learner :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything as long as they are interested. I think that in European countries, maybe something that would be interesting are some insights on Asian culture. Malaysia is a huge culture melting pot with so many different races and I have also done some travelling in Asia.
