I'm trying to see parts of the world I have never seen, meet people I have yet to meet and experience things I have never experienced in my life. As I await medical school to begin in August, I have been travelling most of the time in the past few months, including Taiwan, Cambodia and Thailand. I will be heading to Western Europe and North America, mostly solo as I try to go as far away as I can from where I have grown up my whole life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met amazing people during my last retreat at a meditation centre in Thailand and I really appreciated all the different perspectives from people who grew up in different parts of the world. I want to be able to share my experiences in life (despite it only being 21 short years) and learn from the people who I meet along the way.

Interests

Growing up in Singapore, I have always been used to an urban environment where there is very limited exposure to natural landscapes and outdoor activities. I love heights, being outdoors, challenging myself physically and being surrounded by animals (and doggos!!!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkelled in the crystal clear waters of Maldives

Teach, Learn, Share

Experience of travelling around the world and how it is like growing up Vietnamess-Chinese in metropolitan Singapore.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My knowledge of how it was like growing up in Singapore, my perspectives about volunteerism and the struggles of growing up in an urban environment.

I am always willing to lend a helping hand with household chores, everyday tasks and whatever else I can do to make up for the space I take up. Also would be very happy to go out for meals, drinks and sightseeing!
