Hi, I’m Samantha!

I live in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and have a deep passion for travel, food, photography, and immersing myself in different cultures. Personal growth, self-development, and mental wellness are important to me, as I believe in living a balanced and fulfilling life. I am grateful for all the experiences life has given me and the wonderful people I’ve met along the way. Embracing life’s perfect imperfections, I choose to live happily—one day at a time, with no regrets or guilt.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I love traveling, especially solo adventures. Exploring new places, meeting new people, making friends, and creating unforgettable memories through shared stories and experiences is what I enjoy most. When I’m not out discovering the world, I’m excited to meet travelers visiting Malaysia—showing them my beautiful city and introducing them to our delicious local food!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Oldies, Jazz and Blues…. I don’t have a specific type of music that I listen to, it ranges across genre. I enjoy going to orchestra for classical music too, live bands, jazz concerts etc. I just can’t handle music that’s too noisy and loud (hard to define but I’ll know when I hear it)

Movies: Sci-fi, Fantasy, Thriller, Crime, Comedy, Drama, Romance, Actions - a wide variety (except Horror 😅 can’t handle that)
- Beetlejuice, Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, Die Hard …

Books: I mostly read fictional books; crime and investigative genre, like James Patterson and Patrica Cornwall are my go-to authors. I also like Cecilia Ahern and Jojo Moyes. I enjoy reading poems too - Atticus. Occasionally I read books for personal development and mental wellness - Jay Shetty , Simon Sinek and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Like Neo - I took the red pill

Teach, Learn, Share

When I meet other people and travelers, I enjoy deep conversations and learning about their life adventures, experiences, cultures, and languages. I’m happy to help practice English if needed and offer my time as a listening ear or even as a coach. When I’m not busy with work, I’d love to be your guide and show you around my city. I also enjoy sharing meals and can even teach cooking—whether it’s local Malaysian dishes, Asian cuisine, or Western favorites!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Likewise, with my host, I enjoy deep conversations about life experiences, adventures, cultures, and languages. I love sharing about Malaysian and Asian cultures, exchanging travel stories, and learning from each other’s journeys. I can also cook local Malaysian, Asian, or even Western dishes—anything we can get our hands on and create together!
