A girl. +65 / +44. Ex-banker, not-so-soon-to-be trainee solicitor.

ENFP. Gregarious, optimistic and resourceful. I would like to think that I'm independent, smart and funny. OK - feedback has been that I can be hilarious - no kidding!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I did my virgin solo trip last year - stayed in hostels and all. Then i remembered I read about couchsurfing, so I wanna try it this year because I do want to get to know locals (instead of fellow tourists)!

Interests

I am a keen volunteer who has been volunteering for more than a decade in various capacities. I enjoy books, wine, museums, musicals and body pump, and am an avid baker. I am currently attempting to learn knitting and pottery. I am also a foodie who will travel and queue for good eats!

Music, Movies, and Books

movie: rom-coms like you've got mail and pretty woman, as well as chick flicks like clueless and legally blond. #stopjudging

musical: phantom is my all time favourite!

museum: tate modern

music: I just listen to spotify now, the body pump playlist is my current favourite. Jazz, and I wish I could play the double bass using the slap bass technique. Gareth gates, Taylor Swift, Jason mraz, backstreet boys? #random

book: how to win friends and influence people, monkey business: swinging through the corporate jungle (I honestly think this is much funnier than liars poker), the rules of life

food: mainly jap, and dim sum. And coffee at hipster cafes (is coffee food?)

And this is so #random, but my favourite favourite word is picturesque.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

quit my job to re-start uni in a totally new course?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a little bit of Mandarin? I can share stories about Singapore - did you know public housing is only available to married couples? And did you know a basic Toyota car costs like GBP50k in Singapore?!?!?!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food? I would think I can cook/bake ok - after having to live on my own for quite a bit :) And my experiences!!! (maybe, if you are keen)
