CURRENT MISSION

To spread love, peace, and happiness!

ABOUT ME

Love the sun and the sea - love beach holidays!
Love to meet like-minded people and travel the world!
Love to read, love music and love to sing!
Spontaneous, easy-going, easily-tickled, a little bit crazy sometimes.
Wine over long dinners, or laugh over beers and soju/sake.
absolutely love ice cream. biggest weakness.
I get suck into TV on the crappiest channel but sometimes I just dozed off during the most exciting concerts/movies.

PHILOSOPHY

To be able to die any moment; live with no regrets! Be spontaneous!

Be kind. Be creative. Be free.

Eat well, be well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

would love to be a guide to any tourists coming to Singapore, drop me a message! I am unable to host as my house is really tiny (sharing a room with my sis), but I would start as soon as I get my own place! (not any time soon).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A/M/A/Z/I/N/G
I have had 2 couchsurfing experiences in Melbourne- one with a family and one with a girl. They are both really cool, really nice, really hospitable, and really helpful. I cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am to them for putting me up and going to lengths to help me make my stay as awesome as possible.

Maybe God created couchsurfing to put all the nicest people in the world together here!

Interests

Read, sing, fiddle with the guitar, sit in cafes, lounge by the beach, talk mindlessly with friends, eat ice cream, sipping wine over long long dinners, yoga, fitness, cooking, baking.

I run a bakery with my boyfriend and best friend.

Music, Movies, and Books

there's too many music, movies and books to love. Really dig romcom, and anything superhero action-pack. I am a huge huge bookworm. I read from Kazuo Ishiguro, The Alchemist-Paulo Coelho, Road Dahl (this is the childhood bomb!), Cecilia Ahern, Jodi Picoult, Malcolm Gladwell, Mitch Albom, J.K.Rowling, Haruki Murakami, Kokoro, any lit books tt looks interesting etc etc! Listen to a lot of genres of music- slow to fast, easy to rock.

***I may not know your favourite author or singer, but I most definitely want to read or hear about your favourites!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once stayed in Alishan, Taiwan where I was halfway up the mountains. I can look out of the window and see a sea of clouds swimming below me. I would like to see something else that can beat this!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you whatever little I know from books, music and life. Always ready to exchange thoughts and philosophies of life! I can also teach you how to speak mandarin. One of the hardest languages to master, I reckon.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook! or bake for you! i would love to, in fact. and learn more about the food and cooking in your country! food is one of the best way to connect people. Food can cross all language barriers.

I would also love to be your drinking company, and exchange my life stories with you! From my personal experiences, to setting up a bakery and what I would like to do in future.
