About Me

Hello! I am a solo traveler from Malaysia currently on my Working Holiday journey in New Zealand. After saving enough money, my adventure will finally begin! My next stops are Melbourne and New Zealand South Island, before going back to Malaysia (and will finally go travel around as a local haha!)

I love taking pictures wherever I go, and meeting/ chatting with people all around the world! I find it really fun and interesting to find out other peoples' lives from their countries and cultures.

An INFJ, I am particularly interested in psychology although it's not my major. I can be a total geek on the myer briggs personality typings... Other than that, I'm also keen in art, contextual studies especially. My favourite for now has to be the TV Series Black Mirror...!

Never a good chef before, I am finally learning to enjoy cooking. I love sharing food from Malaysia to everyone who stays with me, and so far I've been getting positive comments. (If they're not trying to entertain me)

If you are interested in Mandarin or Malay, I could definitely give you a tips or two. I'm picking up Italian, and would so love to speak with someone with my (extremely) limited Italian haha!

Oh and I always gift my hosts a piece of art by myself ;)
