Vietnam - from Apr 2024 until May 2024 View allDescription
Hello! I am Shun from Malaysia. I am currently solo backpacking, and I am hoping to go through Europe&Balkans-Central Asia-Southeast Asia by June 2024!
I am a curious person and I love to try new things. One of the experiences that I really wanted to try is to be able to volunteer at various places and Workaway seems to be the perfect platform for this. I hope I will be able to learn a lot through volunteering, and I also hope to provide as much as I can to the community!
Malaysia is a multi-racial country where all heritage and roots are very well-preserved. I grew up in a diverse environment and I would love to learn more about culture outside of my own country. I can’t wait to stay longer at a place to dive deep and experience the place like a local!!Interests

LanguagesMore details about your skills
Prior to being a full-time backpacker, I was a data analyst at a software start-up. I love working with numbers and I believe I will be able to help with computer/digitalization and data-related inquiries.
I have also worked a couple of part-time jobs in the food industry - I've worked in the school dining hall and cafe, as well as a hot-pot restaurant. My responsibilities were mostly cleaning and serving the orders. Though I never cooked (unless you count making sandwiches and fries), I have some experience in the service industry and I am confident that I will do well.
I am no expert in gardening but I love plants and have a very proud collection of house plants. I am also a very hands-on person and love to be creative - I really enjoy thrifting and upcycling various things. I've tried to build a table myself once but the outcome wasn't quite stable, so I would love it if there is any chance to learn my ways around diy projects and the tools.
I can also help with language practice if you are interested in learning Mandarin or some basic Malay and Cantonese! :)Age
26
What else ...
Well... I have to admit that I am a huge Potterhead - any Harry Potter-related item/topic will make me very happy.
I have also picked up photography to keep myself busy during my travels. If you need a photo shoot on something I can try my best!
I love nature and hiking and would love to tag along with any hiking sessions :D Also open to trying new sports!Some more information
