About Me

I recently graduated from University getting my Master's Degree in Architecture. And yes, architecture is a long course! I have done 5 years of education in it. Besides architecture, I love fashion and traveling! I love exploring new places and meeting new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I recently graduated with a Master degree, I decided to take a break from architecture and start backpacking. I have always wanted to visit the world, but never had the time for a backpacking adventure. This is the time when I finally have this time to myself and start exploring the world (with the limited amount I have!).

Interests

I love trying new things! Love to push myself out of my comfort zone! Enjoy architecture and fashion! Always willing to try something new.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Alternative Rock music! Lifehouse, Fall Out Boys, Nickelback... That is to name a few. Besides that, I enjoy Pop music (yes don't judge me!) The classic Taylor Swift, One Direction!

I love movies! I love Oscar nominated films, those that are a real tear jerker! Romantic Comedies are my favorite too, one thing you should know about me is I am real sucker for love! So honestly anything that makes me go "aww"!

I try to read as much books as I can, as intellectual as that sound, I am not! Haha! I like a good fiction book, but I do try to read Architecture books as well!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's always these question that tells you to state one amazing thing where I have no idea! I start to question myself, have I done anything amazing? I don't like the idea I live a quite ordinary life. I guess this backpacking trip down South America which I am embarking on myself can be one of them!

and I've seen the Northern Lights!

Teach, Learn, Share

What does this column means? Haha!

Well, I like to learn a different language, hopefully know 7 fluent language! I am at 4 now! I definitely can teach the language I know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe what I can share mostly is about my experience traveling and being raised in a multi culture country. I am from Malaysia and I went to University in UK, so combine the East and West, I think I can share my experience staying in 2 completely different country and culture.
