I work in molecular biology but my passion is to travel! I haven't done much of it so I have to catch up :)

I can be quiet and awkward at times too; I find it hard to articulate myself sometimes - so I hope to open up a bit more by travelling and meeting new people through CS! Experiences are something I've always had a hunger for though. I get bored quite quickly so finding something new to do or going to a new place is always exciting for me, which is why I am so excited for this upcoming trip.

I will be travelling to South East Asia later this year with one of my friends, then solo to South Korea in August and Japan in September for my first time! I believe that the best memories are made during spontaneous moments (and can testify to that) so I have not planned much at all for this trip. This does make me a bit nervous because I have never done such a massive trip as well as winging it, but we'll see how it goes eh?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet new people and learn about their cultures whilst travelling. I am new to CS and would love to experience the CS culture. Most of all, I'm looking forward to making some lifelong friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had a pretty low key life so far, that's why I need to catch up with life experiences and travels! But I've been skydiving, that was pretty epic :D
