About Me

Hi :) I'm a 24 year old german/malaysian who grew up in Malaysia, which is a very ethnically diverse country. This is also why I love travelling to new countries, meeting new people, discovering new cultures, eating the local food and seeing what amazing landscapes the country has to offer! I moved to Germany in 2015 to study Engineering Physics, specializing in renewable energies at the University of Oldenburg, and am now finishing my masters in Space Engineering in Bremen. I would consider friendly and open towards everyone, approaching life with the best intensions. I have a great admiration and respect for the world we live and the people and animals we share it with. If there is one thing the pandemic has thought me, its to treasure each moment and try to make the best out life no matter the circumstances and to enjoy life to the maximum.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see couchsurfing as the best option when visiting new countries. Staying in hotels etc. are too isolated from the actual countries culture, nothing beats getting to know the locals from a local. The friends that one can make and the experiences one gets while meeting locals is priceless experience :)

Interests

I love traveling and spending my time outdoors exploring. I'm also very passionate about cooking, probably one of the most rewarding hobbies, cause who doesn't love a great meal. Being physically active and healthy is also important to me. I also really love the beach and the ocean, having grown up the tropical country which is why i also absolutely love scuba-diving and kayaking.
