About me
Hey! I'm a Malaysian woman who came back from a life changing first ever solo backpacking trip around Chile pre-Covid and is ready to be packing once more to explore the world! I've been lucky enough to be able to couchsurf and hosted by so many great individuals. I've hosted many sisters on Host A Sister (FB group) ever since CF became a paid service. I've now downloaded this app to connect with incredible women from all over! I'm an easy going person. I enjoy knowing the cultural similarities (and differences) between people with a simple conversation. I'm a lover of all things that give me a sense of escapism - music, nature, movies etc. I've grown to enjoy solo travelling and I can't wait to get acquainted with you!

Immerse yourself in the local culture by staying with trusted local women. Feel safe and welcomed in their homes while exploring new destinations.
Is Malaysia safe for female travelers?
Kuala Lumpur, Solo travel
I was lucky enough to be hosted by my Chinese friend in Puchong. We would get around by car. I wouldn't recommend walking because there are not many places to walk to. As a European it was quite a shocking thing. I love walking. If you want to have fun, there are organised activities to visit the jungle, or you could just chill at the numerous shopping malls around the city. Malaysian Ringgits are weak, so 40 euros were 200 MYR. Food is great. Please try Durian, it's a smelly fruit, either you love it or hate it 😄

I did loads of cool things in KL, some with my friend who lives there and some alone. I went to the royal selangor pewter museum and tour, the National textile museum, loads of local food markets: yum, Ilham gallery where I ran a tablet weaving workshop and we drove out to an indigenous village one day where people weave beautiful things with pandanas grass and I got to have a go. My friends weren’t into the textile stuff so I did that alone but I wouldn’t have got to the village without them as it was an hour away and not on public transport links. There were quite a few artisans offering textile and craft workshops behind little mini malls in kl that sold songket weaving and Indonesian batik. The workshops were basic but some of the fabric was very beautiful. In one mall (not in KL) there was a whole demonstration craft area which was the best one but I can’t remember exactly where it was. In KL the public transport is good but being a pedestrian isn’t. I ended up wandering round by foot at night a couple of times after an uber couldn’t find me and I got lost. Theres very few pavements or streetlights and that was a bit nerve wracking but I got a travel Adrenaline kick from it and nothing bad happened.
