Description

I'll be staying in SHANGHAI, feel free to reach out if you wanna meet anyone at here!

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.

I’m currently a master’s student in Shanghai, China. In summer 2024, I did two Workaway experiences in Switzerland and Italy, where I got to learn a lot through hands-on work and different cultures. In winter 2026, I also volunteered in South Korea. More recently, from March to May 2026, I did Workaway in Norway and Croatia and made some really great memories along the way.

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’d be staying in Shanghai for quite a long time, and I’d love to find a buddy to chat with, travel, explore, and experience more of this beautiful country together.
