About Me

Hi everyone!

I love travelling and this seems like a really great way to get to know people from all around the world. At the moment I'm not able to host but I'd love to meet up if you're passing my way!

I love dancing, travelling and the sea, among many other things. Life's too short for all the "have to"s so I'm following my heart and trying to do one thing that scares me every day.

One of my favourite quotes:
Dance as though no one is watching you,
Love as though you have never been hurt before,
Sing as though no one can hear you,
Live as though heaven is on earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think everyone comes into our lives at a certain time for a reason, and there's always something to learn. I love getting to know people from different cultures, listening to their stories, and finding how much more I don't yet know. In the end, we're all on this journey together, and company's always great to have!

Interests

Dancing's always been a passion of mine, but I also enjoy basically any kind of sports and being in the outdoors. I love losing myself in nature - we don't have much of it in Singapore so being in the mountains or the fields is always such a treat. I love learning - I want to learn everything! Sometimes I wish I could be a vampire so I could stay young forever and learn every single musical instrument, language, dance form, martial art, sport, the list goes on and on...

Music, Movies, and Books

Any music I can dance to! (Which is mostly every kind of music :))

I like all kinds of movies (that don't include horror and gore). My favourite movies include The Sound of Music, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Devil Wears Prada, Coco Before Chanel, Take the Lead, Memoirs of a Geisha and Avatar.

I love the English classics and Shakespeare. My favourite is Austen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finally overcame my claustrophobia and got my scuba diving certification!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some steps for social dancing - salsa, bachata, rumba, chacha, samba... :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experiences, laughter, good times :)

Unfortunately my cooking is really bad (I've poisoned people before) but I'd be happy to help with cleaning and chores!
