About Me

I am LK, a Malaysian undergraduate pursuing Accounting and Finance at The University of Hong Kong.
I enjoy budget travelling and meeting with new friends! It feels great to be able to connect with people from all parts of the world and listen to their stories. Born and raised on the other side of the globe (South East Asia), I would be delighted to share any life journey from a small township in Malaysia to where I am right now, Hong Kong!
I am an open-minded person and I really enjoy having intellectual discussions with people all around the world. Topics ranging from history, religion, politics, astronomy and even the purpose of life, you name it.

During my previous once-in-a-lifetime Couchsurfing experience in Europe, I have met:
1. A cool Mandarin-speaking German student who really likes watching Japanese anime
2. A lovely Czech astrophysicist who owns a full-set telescope in his apartment and taught me Astronomy 101
3. A famous retired Spanish actress who is now a professor in Barcelona
4. A lovely Finnish hostess who owns a freaking reindeer driving license (I'm not kidding)

These are the unforgettable lifetime memories that I will always cherish the most. So, if you are interested to have a short meetup, I'm here for you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people from different places of the globe. I believe that it would be a unique yet amazing travelling experience with Couchsurfing.
