Hi, I'm Anza, who, a few years ago, caught the travel bug!

What keeps me at the edge of my seat? The excitement, awe, and the desire to see more of the world and meet all the new people that I could.

To briefly describe, a combination of silly dance moves to The Smiths, a face that's smiling, funny imitations in an art museum, and wholesome conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to meet people who, like me, are also keen to hangout. To anyone, who is traveling for a while or has come around to settle for work, I'd love to know you. Any conversation that could turn into a connection, is a conversation I'm up for.

Some of my pet peeves here:
* When people don’t like to mention their name and rely on initials as if invisibility is the goal.
* Those artsy ‘back of the head’ or half-hidden pictures.
* People who feel ashamed or try to hide their real background / ethnicity just to fit into a certain social class.

Interests

I love formula1 and at times feel sad how I couldn't witness the greatest driver, race live. Senna!
Yet I am in awe of my now favourite, Alonso ~

I enjoy writing at times and try picking a book every now and then. I would love to be someone who eloquently conveys her thoughts and truly sparks the joy of a wholesome conversation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to Singapore to attend my first f1, found the best spot on a high raised podium, sat unbudged in the rain for 5 hours waiting for the race to start, and another 2 hours watching it. Best weekend, ever!
