About Me

I am sceptical about trying out anything new. I love my comfort zone. But, I know it's something I really need to break as I have started to build bad habits (unconsciously). When I say bad, I'm talking about craving sweet related snacks. I just can't seem to say no. :P

In my high school years, I've played basketball, badminton and softball. But, now, I have become lazy. Of course, I have my 9-5 shift to keep me occupied with a good source of income. But, there is so much more and I need to put more conscious effort. Thus, I am embarking myself on a backpacking trip - away from the routine like work.

I also volunteer at a Seniors community centre teaching computers.

UPDATE 04/01: So far, France has been beautiful! We (my travel buddy) went to Pontorson to visit Mont-St-Michel and had a nice bike ride. In Paris, we been to many of the attractions but I hope to visit back soon again. You just can't experience Paris with just 1 week :).

UPDATE 04/07: Finally hosted with Diana Martin in Haarlem, Netherlands. Yes! A great host. She made myself and my friend feel welcomed immediately. She shared her stories of CS. :) It's a start to meeting more wonderful people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just want to meet people, learn different cultures and hang out. Most importantly - get out of my comfort zone.

I believe I am an introvert, but I am told I'm not. So, I would like to use this opportunity to find out whether or not I am. :P

Recently, I went to India, and it was such a great opportunity to meet and greet people. I have met new friends that I have kept in touch with and the ability to connect to others (anywhere around the world) was just amazing.

Everyone has a story to share. I'm excited to get the opportunity to learn many more. To share what I know and to learn from others .

Music, Movies, and Books

Music reveals a lot about a person and what they are going through. Depending on my mood, I'll listen to happy beat songs, or something just mellow and nice. I don't have a particular favourite music that I can share but I personally prefer instrumentals.

I love fantasy, adventurous, action, comedy related movies. I used to love horror movies, but now I love movies that increase my adrenaline and appreciation in life - in living the moments. Yes, I guess time spent watching the movies may not be something in which I am living in the moment, but isn't it?

I love to read, especially self-help related books. Recently, I have been listening to 'The School of Greatness' podcasts by Lewis Howes

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am afraid of heights. So, I am really proud of myself that I went all the way to the top of Eiffel Tower ❤
