My name is Pia and I'm a 20 year old student living in Vienna Austria. I study German literature and international legal studies. I'd love to get to know someone travelling to Austria or while I'm on the road, as I like connecting with people from different cultures. So let's maybe grab a coffee together or let me show you around Vienna for a bit :))

I am a content creator and translator who works in English, Mandarin Chinese and German. I have spent 6 years in China working for English-language media. Now I have returned to Vienna, where I originally studied. With parents from the UK and Germany, I am fascinated by the subjects of cross-cultural exchange and cultural identity, especially in a location as multi-faceted and different from my own as China’s.

I am Gloria Lim Huei Chen from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, I am luxury Jewelry specialist working on Norwegian Cruise Lines. I used to live in Hong Kong, Italy, Miami, and Phuket, Thailand for the past 5 years. Before Covid, I was an international art sales on a luxury cruise ship, cruising around the Caribbean Islands and Puerto Rico. I love meeting people and friends from all different backgrounds because I believe there is always something we learn from each other. I just moved back from Phuket recently to Kuala Lumpur. I am a Chinese Malaysian which means my ancestors are from China but my grandparents had moved here for many generations. In Malaysia, we are a multi-diverse population with a wide range of food, cuisine, lifestyle, and language. I live 35 to 40 minutes away from the Petronas Twin Towers aka the city center of Kuala Lumpur. I love to help share tips on traveling around Asia or South East Asia or show you around when you visit my country.
