“Give me some sunshine
Give me some rain
Give me another chance
I wanna grow up once again”

UPDATE: Taking a break from hosting. I live with other 4 girls in my flat. As much as I want to help and host, I need to think of them and be respectful of their space too. They have been so kind and allow me to host 2 couch surfers so far, however, after giving some thought, I think it’s not fair for everyone and I should wait until I have my own space one day/ or my home in Malaysia. I’m still open for meet up if the time is good for both of us, just DM me if you guys need to know about this lil town of Debrecen ;)

Hello peeps!

I’m Fatin but you can call me Tintin. I'm a Malaysian, currently doing PhD in environmental science in Hungary, this is my last year and I’m still not sure what I’m doing here, I guess I’ll get a degree in imposter syndrome and existential crisis instead I don’t define myself from my education background but it feels good to find somebody who can relate or stuck in this academia “blackhole”, it’s frustrating at times of how superficial it is, which is the opposite of my core values. So before I’m turning this bio to a ranting site, I’ll stop here . To avoid any misunderstanding, I have soo much respect for the researchers , but just like every system, it’s not perfect.

I finally activated my CS after the long Covid rest, it feels like everybody was too scared to meet other people during this Covid era, which I understand but I think isolation will kill me faster than covid 🫠. Me as a person, I truly enjoy being with people who are open to learning new things. I think authenticity and kindness are the things I treasured most in a person. Cooking and sharing food is my love language for another humanbeing that I just met/ the one I’ve known for ages Food unites people!

I self-diagnosed myself to be somewhere in the adhd/autism spectrum. So right now I’m working hard on my “time blindness, and my burnt out to try to do everything problem”. Also, we truly underestimate the power of a good sleep, to our mental and physical health, don’t forget to rest ;)

If it matters, I’m an ENFP but slowly shifting to INFP. In a sense, I’m more ambivert than extroverted. I feel like I’m an old person trapped in a 29 years old body, but can be very energized with the right people or a deep conversation about life and with enough rest (I realized that I’m not myself when I’m physically/mentally drained). You can see me very passive if I overly socialize and doesn’t have enough time to recharge, but there’s def nothing wrong with you. I enjoy things at slow pace now, tho ofcourse, sometimes with time blindness and last minute things, I can be quick like cockcroaches It’s like my brain work faster in a stress mode lol. Okay… so that’s me oversharing about myself 🫣

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I want to break stereotypes and dive into people’s mind, see with my own eyes how people live a life that's different from mine, just learn, learn, and learn :)

Música, películas y libros

I listen to everything as long as it’s good to my ears. Watch pretty much everything but thriller>ghost stories. “Me Before You” gave me a different perspectives about life and love. I used to read a lot when I was young but now I’m struggling to finish a book unless it’s really good. I have too many hobbies and not really good in one specific thing, I wish I have that sometimes.

Algo increíble que he hecho

A moment with my lil baby nephew, where I just stare at him and he looks at me like he understands what I feel, it lifted all the weight I carry on my shoulder at that time, I’m at peace at that moment ️

I know that it says one but I’m a rebel

I can dance to the music with/without other people, whenever there’s good music around! I can dance till my feet hurts if the song selection is good and “danceable” It’s like I’m getting possessed.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach you to cook some Malaysian food ️ We can exchange our experience/knowledge, cause I think it’s the most valuable thing. I’m in the state where I am unlearning a lot of things that I’ve learnt in order to learn, so just try me! It’s a safe space to talk about anything. I can teach you how to curse in Malaysian/Hungarian language too

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Good laugh, warm smile, hugs if you need it! Cook and experimenting with food if you allow me!
