About Me

CURRENT MISSION

What's worth having, isn't easy to acquire.

ABOUT ME

I'm an adventure hungry Aussie, always up for new and out-there experiences. I value quality friendships, good food, photography and travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

"As much as you want to plan your life, it has a way of surprising you with unexpected things that will make you happier than you originally planned."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since surfing with several great hosts during my first time in Europe, I deem the CS experience a wonderful concept. I appreciate the generous exchange of culture and learning cultivated through CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After completing a exchange semester in the UK, I travelled throughout Northern and Central Europe, surfing some of the way.

Interests

Sketching, photography, experimental cooking, eating anything and everything, reading novels, watching movies, listening to TedTalks podcasts, exploring new travel destinations and meeting people who love life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hip-hop and R&B really makes me move. I love to read romantic novels, crime thrillers and biographies. Films I enjoy range from rom-coms to gruesome horror pieces.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) The astounding culture and lifestyle contrasts between developed and developing countries is a real eye-opener
2) Getting up, close and personal to wildlife; elephants and tigers; is frightening but thrilling!
3) The selfless kindness of strangers is a reminder that there is goodness in this world

Teach, Learn, Share

The stories I will share revolve around the amazing cities I have travelled to, the beautiful places I wish to visit in the future, my family and friends from Australia, my Asian heritage and culture, photography tips, and the beautiful simplicities I notice in everyday life.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, United Kingdom, Viet Nam
