ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Shu Wen Puah
Hey there! I’m Shu Wen. Born in Malacca, Malaysia, raised in Munich, Germany, and now studying in the Netherlands. This diverse upbringing has blessed me to explore both Asia and Europe extensively. Every summer, I return to Malaysia to visit my family, which gives me the perfect excuse to explore Asia. While during my other holidays in Europe, you’ll often find me discovering the continent. Traveling has always been my passion, but planning trips brings me just as much joy. As a student, I’ve mastered the art of budget travel, especially in Europe, where I know how to stretch every euro. But when I’m in Asia, I enjoy a touch of luxury.I believe that understanding a destination’s culture and history is the key to truly experiencing it. I don’t just stick to popular spots—I’m passionate about uncovering local secrets that offer a more authentic and enriching experience. I have visited over 18 countries, mostly in Asia and Europe, I’ve gathered a wealth of experiences that I’m eager to share with you. What sets me apart? I can craft a travel experience that’s not only affordable but also deeply immersive. From exploring historical landmarks to indulging in local delicacies, I’ve got you covered. And if luxury travel is more your style, I’ll ensure you experience the best that your destination has to offer. My travel guides are designed for families, couples, and friends. Whether you’re interested in local cuisine, trendy cafes, or perfect photo spots, I’m here to guide you. Plus, I offer personalized services like custom itineraries and virtual consultations, so your trip is tailored exactly to your preferences. Planning my family’s trips has always been a joy, and hearing my parents and brother say that our travels were memorable and full of love is the greatest reward. I want to bring that same joy to you. I’m here to help you fall in love with every destination you visit and ensure your journey is seamless, enjoyable, and full of incredible memories.
