Hey there! I'm Jed from Malaysia. I'm currently based in Hamburg, Germany. I spent a semester on exchange in Pipestone, Minnesota when I was 17 and have been exploring the world every since!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From a young age I've always been curious about the world, especially places I know very little off. I think the best way to learn about a local culture is by following the path of a local. I've also enjoyed showing travelers around my beautiful city, learning more about it and other countries in the process. Couchsurfing connects me to people across the globe with a like-minded need for adventure!

Interests

I'm very interested in cultural preservation and community development. A lot of my free time is spent volunteering and working alongside NGOs and social enterprises. I'm always looking new opportunities to make a difference in the community that I'm in (even when i'm abroad). Besides that, I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen (although it doesn't always turn out well XD), going for a stroll/jog in a new place, reading a thought-provoking book, and dancing the night away with great company.
