About Me

Hi there!

I'm a Malaysian studying in Edinburgh and looking to do some solo travel while I'm in the UK before I have to leave back for Malaysia. Last summer I travelled around Bulgaria and Romania and enjoyed meeting new people and up for another round this summer!

I believe travelling cause a shift in the way we view the world and how people may be different but essentially we're all really the same. Travelling has definitely changed me and would love to share my experiences and learn about other people's experiences too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Here to meet a variety of people and live through their experiences. I think of life similar to a video game, where the more experiences we have, the more we "level" up in life.

I used to have a fear of meeting people but having done Couchsurfing last year, I am pleased to say I do not regret ever trying it out.

I first hosted two Couchsurfers last summer.

So come at me life!
