About Me

Just a micro speck of dust in this vast universe.

Despite working as a writer, I find it hard to write about myself so here are a few of my favourite things: photography (recently got back into film photography), plants, food (I'm vegetarian), long walks (ideally not when it's 32°C — that’s the average temperature here in Singapore), contemporary art (even though I rarely understand it), sustainable initiatives, music, architecture and books of course.

I'm not the biggest party animal around and would usually prefer a nice chat over drinks than a crazy night out clubbing. Also, I can't dance so that could be a contributing factor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for a more authentic way to travel and meet locals

Interests

Reading — I started the "50 books a year" challenge early this year and am at book #42 now. If you have any interesting reads to share, do recommend them to me please?

UPDATE: I FAILED. Only managed to complete 43 books in 2018 so my 2019 goal is 57 books. Wish me luck.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Managed to stay alive for 26 years and counting

Teach, Learn, Share

I can't cook but I'm good at washing dishes so I'm always happy to clean up after you, should you wish to cook up a storm

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share fun experiences together and attempt to ignore the fact that life is meaningless and happiness is fleeting...LOL.
