About Me

Recently returned to school as a mature student studying Speech Pathology in Newcastle. Down in Sydney at the moment!

A true believer of this mentality, "Aside from reading, a good form of education one can ever have is to travel."

I'm pretty open-minded about different opinions and cultures. Always curious about what is in people's head about random stuff/topics---so if you don't hear it from me verbally, it's probably happening in my head already! While I may be really random and abrupt with my curiosity and questions, rest assured I'll never be rude with them.

Played competitive badminton in school, so if you have the equipment and court ready, I am always ready for a friendly game.

High appreciation for deep conversations, even if it's just 5 sentence exchange in 20 minutes.

I also live to eat. Let's just say I have a high appreciation for good food.

I can't say I'm fantastic with directions, even with a map, but I always enjoy the process of getting to my destination even if it means getting lost ahaha. It's the PROCESS that counts.

Personally, everything is interesting to me, there are really very few things I won't be curious to know. The only difference is taking this curiosity further into an interest.

If you're someone who loves to ponder and share about all wonderful and interesting things in Life and discuss on it, I would love to meet you! Or any other random thoughts :)

Always be kind, some people are just better at hiding their pain from the rest.

Pay it forward!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What better way to travel than to mingle with people from all walks of life while I'm at it!

Also, I think it's a fantabulous way to get out and grow out of our comfort zone : )

Everyone has a different story to tell!

Interests

Observing human interaction. Understanding the dynamics of the type of conversation, social communication, and social behaviors. Badminton and a little of archery. Light hiking!
