ABOUT ME

Hello there. :)

I'm Aiza. I am a Muslim, 23 years old girl studying in Egypt, far from my country, Malaysia.

Might be shy at first. I don't talk much but when we talk and find some similarities, I'm open to new ideas and stories and become talkative. I started travelling actively 5 years ago and waiting for a new one in each vacation. I love food hunting, learning background and history of countries, trying new things for the first time. I love to understand other cultures and traditions and meeting new people
