About Me

I can be an indoor person, enjoy reading, music and a cup of coffee, but I can be outgoing also to join various kind of outdoor activities like diving, hiking, cycling etc. I enjoy city life, but I love nature as well. I enjoy travel and meeting with new friends, it gives me new thought and inspiration on writing.

I have spent total 1 year and 5 months to visit 21 countries in Europe by doing workaway (work for free meals and accomodation) and couchsurfing. I started my journey on April 2016, and ended up on September 2017. I met many nice people in my journey and gain a lot of experience and sweet memories. It is totally a new chapter of my life.

After back to Malaysia, I worked for a year. Now I started to travel again in Europe, this time will be 3 months. I write my travel blog everyday and planned to publish a book soon. If you are interested, I would love to share my story with you :)
