About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world!

ABOUT ME

I am a passionate and warm individual, whose mission is to travel the world! Having stayed in London, Seoul and Singapore, I have had diverse experiences in living and assimilating into different cultures. Also, I have traveled extensively, and enjoys experiencing a new way of life through the eyes of my local friends.

Being raised in Singapore, in a diverse society, I have learned to be open and receptive to different views and perceptions.

In addition, I am a sports junkie so i love all kinds of sports. I have been playing basketball for the 16 years, and have played for school, club and even overseas tournaments. I also enjoy surfing, diving and wakeboarding!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest!
I believe we only live once, and we should give our best to everything that we do, with no regrets so that at the end of the day we know we have tried everything that we can!

Carpe diem :)

I have also lived in London previously, and have traveled extensively throughout Europe, loving traveling so much and meeting new people! :)
