About Me

Hosted and surfed in France and across Europe in 2019 when I was working in Paris for a year and truly enjoyed the experience!

Travelling is great way for me to discover the world, have meaningful experiences, and to learn from different people and places. At the same time, it would be nice to meet locals wherever I go, to know about their hometown, and have a short but fruitful exchange with them!

I find myself always wondering what's the next great thing I can work on, and talking to people is a great way for me to not just learn about others, but to gain ideas and inspiration for my aspirations, and maybe to help theirs as well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore the world and meet people from different cultures and backgrounds. Every opportunity to meet and interact with another person is a blessing indeed.

Interests

Avid learner - always trying to maximize my time on my daily commute, either listening to podcasts or reading e-books.

Currently learning French, but quite slow in that area 😅

Love watching movies and shows with meaningful messages behind them, as well as those inspirational/sports kind.

Currently trying out meditation, maybe 10mins a day, hoping to extend it longer.

Love writing too! Blogging on my travels and experience and writing educational articles are one of my fave pastime.

Aiming to complete the ironman triathlon in the next few years 💪
