Hello there! I'm Esther, born and bred in the sunny island of Singapore. Where is that, you ask? A tiny island located at the tip of Asia near Malaysia and Indonesia. We're so small that the world map omits us completely sometimes, which isn't a very cool thing (haha), but i love Singapore because we are a city/capital/country all in one. I'm an introvert by nature - walks, a good ponder, meals and a day out are things i love and can do on my own without issue. BUT. I also love people, great conversations, meaningful connections and learning. After all, people are what make life so enriching. It's always mind-boggling to me how big the world is. Travelling and meeting people from across the globe have taught me that there is so much more than what i know, and I endeavor to continually explore this big, big world i have a privilege to be a part of. I'm also passionate about the non-profit/social service sector, so it would be great to meet other like minded people as well! But even if that isn't particularly of interest to you, i'd love to hear your stories, your ambitions, dreams, whatever. :)
