I’m Jemmie Chew, a Malaysian Chinese, major in Architecture in Taiwan.
Currently staying in Milan as an Erasmus student in Politecnico di Milano for this semester (March - August),
studying communication design.

'Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.'
That's why I enjoy capture down every beautiful moments and share with people.

I love spending warm afternoon in a park doing nothing,
or a late night wine with book/movie, or alcohol and music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people/like-minded people, get inspired,
sharing different life experiences and culture exchange.
Willing to share my knowledge in photography if you asked! :)
