About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

I've spent all my life growing up on this tiny island of Singapore, where every location is a mere 30 minute drive away. I am fascinated by the world out there, especially the wonders of nature, and cannot wait to see as much of it as my time would allow.

I have always wanted to be a doctor and am currently a medical student, training towards my dream. My love for traveling extends to medical missions, and I have been to India, and will soon be traveling the hills of Nepal in search of people to treat and comfort.

I love meeting new people, and exchanging cultures and stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Live. Love. Laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm pretty new to CS! My first experience staying in others' homes was with airbnb, but I've heard about couchsurfing from a friend, and now I'm eager to try it for myself. I'd love to show people around Singapore.
