  • Description

    ! I'm Phoebe from Malaysia. I studied Advertising Design, I worked as Graphic Designer in Malaysia but changed to hospitality and aviation industries(mainly CS tasks) when I gained work abroad experiences in Macau and Singapore. My last permanent job was IT Onsite Engineer in Sg. I relocated to Germany due to I met my husband and we tight the knot in 2024 :-).

    I would like to back to the road in Scandinavian countries before I finish my B2 evening online course in Feb 27. I'm hardworking, reliable, easy-going and responsible on job. During my working holiday jobs in New Zealand, I worked as plums and peaches fruitpicker, onion packhouse grader, vineyard pruning job and manufacturing worker. I am a solo and independent traveller. As I studied design, I'm good at art. I'm good on landscape/product/food photography, drawing, painting, I'm interested about any creativity task!. I learned the basic and studio photography when I was in college. 2023 I was volunteering for around 1 month in a hostel in Albania, then 1 month gardening projects in Bulgaria for two hosts.

    I finished a year Software Engineering bootcamp in Germany in Jan 2026 . I finished my B2 Intensive course but not sufficient to land a permanet job so I'm still enhancing my German and keep hunting a permant job(Currently I'm based in Essen), so I decided to explore a bit on new EU countries as my husband is regularly WFH however he needs to travel regularly to print houses in DE, hence I'm travelled alone.

    I'm an independent woman who travelled to 40 countries and I was actively attend the events for couchsurfing in Singapore and I have some volunteerin g experiences in EU. As I got the sponsored B2 Berufliche Sprachkurs from Job Center for evening class (Mon-Thu 1700-2015hrs), I have commitment within this 3 .15 hours in th evening for 4 weekdays. I would like to find a host that we can have an agreement for my learning schedule. As I usually love to enjoy dinner with my host as I would like to know more about my host and exchange some life experience, but due to the study schedule, it might be affected. I can help to prepare the ingredients before I start the course and take day offs on weekdays instead of weekend, so I can also enjoy dinner time with my host. I love to cook (Asian, Malaysian, European foods), my hosts like my dishes! :-) The next EU trip plans : Sweden, Norway, Poland, Iceland(I would like to shoot Northern Light if possible this year or 2027).
