Hi there!

I’m a bubbly introvert from the beautiful island of Penang, Malaysia 🏝️

After a career as a journalist, I’ve transitioned into full-time online novel translation. The remote job allows me to do immersive traveling, opening my eyes to many things that I could never imagine.

I’m someone who loves connecting with others—whether through sharing stories or simply exchanging good vibes. I find beauty in the little things in life, and I’m always excited to meet new people and experience new perspectives.

In my free time, you can usually find me creating art (though not very good) through pouring (a fun, messy, and therapeutic hobby!), or getting lost in a good book at a bookstore.

I'm down to learn anything and everything in the world, and I yearn for connections that can form between people, no matter where we come from.

Can’t wait to meet you already!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the kindness that strangers could offer and sharing life experiences with anyone in the world!
