Description

I'LL BE STAYING IN AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS UNTIL END OF MARCH!

Hello, I’m Samantha, you can call me Sam. I’m 24 years old and come from the beautiful state of Perak, Malaysia. Growing up in a multiracial and multicultural country, I am bilingual, fluent in Chinese, English and Cantonese, proficient in Malay, with basic Japanese and Korean.

Currently, I am a master’s student at Shanghai, China. During the summer of 2024, I participated in three Workaway experiences in Switzerland and Italy, where I gained valuable cross-cultural and hands-on learning experiences. In the winter of 2026, I also volunteered in South Korea. Now, I hope to start my new journey IN 2026!!

Want to know more about me?
In 2020, I joined an exchange program in Amsterdam, where I spent nearly six months exploring Western culture, making international friends, and falling in love with the city. During that time, I also traveled across Europe, including Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Iceland, and England.

These experiences sparked my passion for cultural exchange and helped me become more confident and open-minded. I love meeting new people, sharing cultures, languages, stories, and even cooking together.

Currently, I’m studying in Shanghai, and I’d love to find a buddy to chat with, travel, explore, and experience more of this beautiful country together.
