Hi there! My name is Cheah Yi, and i'm so happy to meet you! :)
I'm from Malaysia, a tropical, multiracial country in the middle of Southeast Asia. I am currently in the 3rd year of my medical studies, working part time to travel during my semester breaks!
I love reading, cycling, bouldering, music, movies, philosophy, puzzles, spending time with my family and more!
My friends describe me as fun, kind, curious, and full of energy! I enjoy exploring, learning, creating, thinking, taking up new challenges, and connecting with people. I view all experiences to be meaningful, and love seeking out ways to enrich myself, and to give back whatever and whenever I can!Interests
