Hi, I'm Rae!

I was born and raised in the bustling city of Subang Jaya, but I've since moved around Malaysia a couple of times. I spent my undergraduate years on a little island in Australia called Tasmania (not to be confused with Tanzania!), and now I'm based in Trier, Germany for my Masters degree in environmental sciences. I'm keen to explore Europe while I'm here, and of course, meet awesome people along the way :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and hang out with people from all walks of life :D I've had nothing but wonderful experiences with people I've met from this platform.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's a bit difficult for me to list out my favourite music because I listen to a mixed bag of genres and artists! It really depends on my mood, but I'm always open to recommendations as I love discovering new tunes :)

Defo not a movie buff by any means, but my favourites include Inception, the LOTR trilogy, (500) Days of Summer, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Blades of Glory isn't too bad, either -- I mean, we all need some mindless comedy now and then.
