Hi! I'm Jasmine and I'm a graphic designer working in Canada. Born in Selangor, Malaysia, my family and I moved to Calgary, Canada when I was 15 and we've been in this country ever since.

I consider myself an introvert, but I (like to think that I) am sociable with a tendency to get a little loud when I'm overexcited. My interests include writing, drawing, playing video games, listening to music and photography. I'm a huge museum and art history junkie, and my idea of a good time can vary from exploring to finding new restaurants or just sitting down and talking for hours!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to find people to hang out with in the places I'm at (wherever it may be) and if you're interested, feel free to hit me up with a message!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn and experience new things. My favourite things to do when I travel are visit museums and see the sights but I'm also happy to explore my surroundings, appreciate the architecture and/or nature and just generally learn the ins and outs of everything and anything that I can.
