Profile 2008-2011:
I'm a plant molecular biologist by training on a mission to learn more about life through research and travelling!

During my undergrads, I have achieved the goal of sightseeing around central and parts of Eastern Europe two years ago. In summer 2008 I accomplished my initial dream of visiting Spain to immerse myself in the spanish culture.

A bit about myself:
I am cheerful, friendly and good to be with (quite subjective really, but people generally think so). Honest and frank. I am independent with a carefree outlook. Up for a witty chat anytime anywhere and always enjoy the companionship with someone who is passionate in life and with an adventurous heart. Non-smoker.

I had visited European countries and get to know people from different cultural background. I am a great fan in tasting local dishes from different countries.

I am very flexible too, as long as you provide me with a shelter at night, I will be able to visit places on my own. Though having a guide or some advice would be fab!

Travel objectives:
1. meet new people
2. learn new culture/ cultural exchange
3. city sightseeing
4. taste local food :p

PHILOSOPHY

Always look on the bright side of life!
To know is to try and explore...
Never say never!
