CURRENT MISSION

To be immersed in the beat (and heat!) of Southeast Asian cultures.

ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm Laila. A Javanese, born and raised in sunny Singapore. And I like to be called Lai (as in "Come lie down on this couch!").

Often intrigued, I'm also known to be expressive. I enjoy immersing self in varied cultures, basking in the sun, idling to serenades of crashing waves, sinking my teeth in juicy ripened mangoes and of course, travelling! That's what got us all here on CS afterall ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I live simply. I simply live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I am not able to travel at the mo, wouldn't stop me from extending ripple effects; passing some travel bug and warm hospitality forward:)

Give me an Inbox heads up if you're seeking exploration tips for Singapore / Cambodia.
