CURRENT MISSION

To Experience Life

ABOUT ME

Novice traveller, experienced nerd. I grew up in Singapore, a hot, tiny island in Southeast Asia. I am currently on gap year before I fly off. I didn't get much chance to travel while I was in school, so I am going to make the best of this year!

PHILOSOPHY

Never confuse energy with strength.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking through the old city of Jerusalem. Seeing the Golan Heights and the bullet holes on the walls. Floating in the Dead Sea, sinking in the mudhole. Go-carting in Batam with makeshift go-carts on motorcycle engines. Getting thrown off speed boats. Climbing Huangshan in China. Being lost in Osaka. Biking around Kyoto. Spending a night at Shirakawa-go. Hiking in Kamikochi. Doing a 28 hour day in Tokyo, starting with a nap at a manga kissa, a tour of the Tsukiji tuna auction and some seriously good sushi.
