Overview
About Me
I was born in Kuala Lumpur and currently live in Kajang, Selangor with my parents. Alongside my work, I am pursuing a part-time degree in Psychology. While my schedule can be busy at times, I am always happy to assist guests or share meaningful conversations whenever possible. At present, I am particularly interested in connecting with travelers who would like to join volunteer or work exchange opportunities, especially for an ongoing community project in Jasin, Melaka (subject to terms and conditions). Kajang is not a highly developed city, but it offers a peaceful environment with easy access to the MRT by bus or Grab. I look forward to welcoming travelers who are open to cultural exchange and eager to share their stories, perspectives, and experiences with me and my community.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
As a Couchsurfer
For me, travel is not just about sightseeing. It’s about connecting with people, learning from different cultures, and listening to stories from locals and fellow travelers. Couchsurfing allows me to experience daily life, have meaningful conversations, and see a place through the eyes of those who live there. Staying with locals reminds me that the world is kind, generous, and full of small, beautiful moments.
As a Host
I want to give back the kindness I’ve received throughout my travels. Hosting allows me to share a piece of Malaysia, especially from a less touristy place like Kajang. I enjoy exchanging experiences, learning about your journey, and introducing you to the idea of slow, meaningful travel—because the world often moves too fast. Through Pengembara Nomad, I am also working on community projects, so hosting can be a way for guests to get involved in something purposeful. For me, Couchsurfing is not just about a place to stay, but about sharing, learning, and growing together.

What I Can Share with Hosts
I enjoy having deep conversations about travel, culture, psychology, or life as a freelancer (digital nomad). I’d also be happy to cook a Malaysian dish if you’d like to try one. As a guest, I always contribute by helping with simple tasks such as cleaning, assisting with cooking, or tidying up? Hmm, just small ways to show appreciation. I also love sharing travel tips and insights, especially if you’re curious about planning a trip to Asia. Above all, I’m clean, considerate, and mindful of balancing connection with personal space, and yes, I have common sense. :D
