ABOUT ME Born and bred in the capital of Malaysia, I'm a city girl with a hungry heart for new sights and sounds. I'm predominantly curious by nature and I see everything as a learning experience. I'm an avid reader with a love for museums, galleries and good food! When I'm not travelling, I love visiting local arts scenes and the cinema. Both of which I couldn't do much of for the past 2 years so I'm glad things took a better turn now :) Fun fact: I remember the most random animal facts and will share them unprompted. Like how penguins poop by firing them into the air like cannonballs. PHILOSOPHY Savour the moment and enjoy the present, life's too short to rush through everything.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have heard of Couchsurfing some time ago but I never got around to it. This year, I finally have the chance to embark on solo trips. After witnessing some of my friends participating in Couchsurfing, I found the motivation to experience it for myself.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I have different phases. Current muse: Ghost Loft Odesza Flume Banks Movies: I'm a big fan of psychological thrillers, murder mysteries as well as Japanese films. Books: I've been reading some Murakami, some modern classics like Jack Kerouac but my all-time favourite would have to be Sherlock Holmes.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
One of the most amazing things I've done was to live, study, and travel 9,000 miles away from home all by myself for a year. Did a South-North solo trip in Taiwan, made new friends! Learnt Malaysian Sign Language and got to coach a Taiwanese actor for a relevant role
