My name is Astrid Empacher. I’m 25 years old and originally from Copenhagen, Denmark. For the past four months, I´ve been studying abroad at Swinburne University in Kuching, Malaysia as an exchange student. This June, I will completing my bachelor´s degree in Media Studies, after which I plan to spend around six months travelling across Southeast Asia.
I’m passionate about discovering new cultures and places, and I recharge mentally by hiking, playing sports, or hitting the gym.
My favourite part about being an exchange student in Kuching is the food or the welcoming and friendly people I’ve met.
