About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live and laugh. a whole lot.

ABOUT ME

I'm a lifestyle writer specialising in food and travel. Just moved home to Singapore so am slowly rediscovering my hometown as well. Slightly busy with the new job, so don't have time to show anyone around - but if you're really, really interesting and we have a million things in common, I might make an exception ;)

PHILOSOPHY

to be anything but ordinary!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS has completely changed my idea of travel. i try to tell everyone that i can about the project (travel-talk always makes dinner conversations more exciting anyway...)

Interests

photography, modern art, sunny islands, reading, cocktails with lots of tropical fruit in them, partying (too often), drinking (too much. oh college, look what you have done to me), shopping at street/flea markets, journaling, sunbathing, tattoos, reggaeton (especially dancing to it), coffee, sweet dessert wines, learning new languages and getting excited by any untried experiences!
