About Me

My travels in my 20s has opened up my world, provided me with deep life lessons, and plenty of sentimental moments that stay dear to my heart. I've worked in hospitality in my travels, and currently house sit in exchange whenever I travel. I missed the couchsurfing boom but am optimistic about giving it a go at this era!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘐 𝘏𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘎𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘴

I value creativity, community, service and generosity amongst many other things and hope to welcome like-minded people to cross paths. I'm looking to open my doors to fresh eyes while I rediscover what it's like living and setting roots again back in my home country in Malaysia. It's a sweet way of travelling through someone else while I am home :)

𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘺 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥

I reckon travel will find its newfound purpose in my life again and while I am setting roots back home, I am being open to a new chapter of travel to begin when it's time. Please share your travel insights with me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The aerial view of the snowy mountains in a bush plane up in Seward, Alaska

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been teaching mindful floral arrangement in the women circles I hosted for the past two years.

Life is full of learning opportunities.

Let's share kindness, laughter and great memories, and a good meal.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depending on what creative phase I'm at, I've left my house sit owners home made treats, DIY oil blends, postcards and the occasional personalised gift.

I have a few travel stories up my sleeve but otherwise I enjoy listening and gaining inspiration from others.

Happy to return the hosting favour while I'm in Malaysia, or house sitting during my travels as I've regularly done so down in Australia 🦘
