About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, Eat, Smile

ABOUT ME

My top 3 interests are travelling, sports and good food. Constantly pushing myself to step out of my comfort zone and experience new adventures.

Travelling is something I enjoy very much; interacting with locals and fellow travellers, immersing myself in the local culture - food and way of life, and the sights and sounds that are found outside of this small island I call home.

I enjoyed my trips to most of Europe, East Asia, and some parts of the States. Highlights are Spain, France, Italy, Croatia, Switzerland, Japan, Taiwan. Croatia's a hidden gem - the Blue Cave and Plitvice Lakes National Park are amazing sights to take in.
*Update: Machu Picchu and Salar de Uyuni were epic!

Looking forward to visit Central America, North America and Africa in the near future.

I rock climb, swim and gym. Been to Krabi and Sucre, Bolivia for natural rock climbing. The sense of achievement and view when one manages to reach the top of the wall especially when the sun sets is exceptional.

Food is another passion of mine. I live to eat, indulging in excellent food ranging from the Sambal Stingray at Chomp Chomp, the English Breakfast at Jones the Grocer to the Colours, Textures & Savours menu at Guy Savoy in Paris.

PHILOSOPHY
