Solo female backpacker from Singapore.

I am a freelance writer. Formerly worked in tech as a technical account manager until I quit and started traveling (from March 2024) :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the moment I’m looking for generous hosts who would be open to putting me up for a few nights in their lovely home. I intend to host guests once I secure a place of my own.

Having studied and lived in several countries and traveled in more, I am fortunate to have friends all over the world whose homes I have stayed in. I love discovering and exploring new places and cultures - and hope to keep doing that now on this platform :)

Interests

Growing up in a city and small island-nation, I always longed for nature and the outdoors. I spent a year on a working holiday in New Zealand during COVID, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Since then I have primarily shaped by travels around hiking, diving and being in nature.

As a (fairly) avid reader since I was a young girl, it is also my dream someday to write and publish a book.

Lately, I've also returned to an old college hobby - taking pictures on film! I am currently doing a bit of a Euro summer and getting snapshots of what I see on a cheap film camera.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I listen to a lot of American/British/Japanese pop - Britney, Charli XCX, Taylor, Ayumi Hamasaki etc. I also like bands like Muse. But my favourite artiste is, hands down, Norwegian pop wonder Sondre Lerche.

Movies: EEAAO, Inception, Mean Girls

Books: Frankenstein, Nancy Drew series, Harry Potter series

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove 5h on a deflating tire - we kept stopping at gas stations to pump the leaky tire because a nail had been pierced into it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to teach what I know about languages and backpacking in the countries I have been to. I would love to learn more about life as a local in the places my hosts are in.
