CURRENT MISSION

It's times like this you learn to love again. It's times like this you learn to live again.

ABOUT ME

My friends would tell you that I love any shade of green, that tea time is my favourite activity of the day; brewing the perfect cup along with an assortment of snacks that would ultimately complement the brew (of course, with my favourite people). Brunch comes a close second during the weekends. They would also tell you that I have this obsession to leave the city once every few months, and come back with a story or two. I can relate to Tasslehoff Burrfoot (any DL fans out there?) - nothing about his snitch fingers but his pure passion of exploration and his intention of keeping those memories by way of maps. My fondest memories were those when I was in exchange in London; the openness of those around me to share their knowledge and their culture, and their willingness to keep this silly petite girl in their midst - is something I will treasure forever. I also love taking pictures.

PHILOSOPHY

As cliche as it sounds but something to live by: Eat, Pray, Love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to this community and I can't wait to get started.

Interests

I treasure and bask in moments - with friends, family, my environment, and learning points in life. I spend my time with the people I care about, but I also consider a good book and a good cup of tea time well spent too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

En route to Edinburg, from London.
It was a sleeper bus and I was sitting at the back when a big group of men in their 20s joined me. I was slightly (very) intimidated since they came from a football match and had more than a couple of drinks, but somehow during the 9 hour bus journey we ended up singing Bohemian Rhapsody (repeatedly) and them teaching me Scottish/Irish slangs and swear words.

Shirakawago, Japan
You are staring at the UNESCO World Heritage Site - perfect thatched wooden houses with the Japanese Alps as the backdrop. Snow is falling softly all around you. You are cold (freezing) but you refuse to make a step in fear of destroying the silence, and the beauty.

Oia, Santorini, Greece
I wake up, and open the wooden door of my cave room. The perfect sight awaits; blue waters, mighty cliffs and just the slightest breeze. I take a deep breath.
