Description
Hello! I am Shun from Malaysia. I am currently solo backpacking in South Asia. I hope to spend around 4 months in this region!

I am a curious person and I love to try new things. Volunteering at various places makes this possible and Workaway is the perfect platform for this. I have learned so much 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 different places to dive deep and experience the places like a local!!

More details about your skills
I used to work as 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! :)

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!

Words cannot express how great the stay with Wendy, Eric, and Isabel was - but I will try :) Wendy and Eric are truly one of the nicest and kindest people that I have met and I felt so welcomed from the moment I arrived. They are very hardworking and run a busy ceramic business, which was very inspiring for me. They set an example of how to make… read more

What a delight to have Shun here with us! So very pleasant, capable, able to take on any tasks and eager to help us on the land, with the animals, in our house..and with me on video-editing.
Shun kept her WA lodgings neat and orderly.
What to say?
Only: Shun, love to have you back with us any time!

I could not be more grateful to have spent 3 incredible weeks in the beautiful Umbrian countryside with Anne and Pino! They hold high standards which ensures everything is efficient and optimal. Anne really amazed me with how much she cared about her work, be it the guesthouses, regular house chores, or her YouTube videos. She is also a very… read more
