Hey there - I quit my job to follow my dream of traveling the world. I never thought I could, but according to Wonder Woman who uttered these life-changing words "Who would I be if I stayed" before leaving the island of Amazonian warriors, I knew I would regret not to. All the solo female travelers out there - you are my inspiration.

"Bring on the wonders, bring on the songs. I have pushed you down for too long...."

As as I enter my late twenties, I began to think more and more about all the things that I have ever wanted to do since I was a child, like sing a song, dance like there is no one watching, pick up a new language, exploring all the mysteries of the world, photography, meet interesting and people, journaling... all of which I never made time for, all of which remain "someday I will" items whose existence is confined solely in the domain of "perhaps, it would be nice"

Then I had a radical thought, what if I had a year where I am dedicated to the pursuit of happiness and practicing the subtle art of not giving a f*ck about what anyone else thinks.

Meet the world, meet myself, accept all of it, be it, love it, nurture it, and believe in it. Become comfortable with failures, make mistakes and be okay with them.

Instead of waiting for someday, I decided that 2018 is the year that I sell everything I own, pack my bag and begin a journey crossing 7 continents with Antartica in mind by Feb 2019 when I hit rock 30!

Hope I will get to meet you on this journey!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"I have met many people during my travels. I may even have met myself. "

I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to meet like-minded people.

If there is anything I have learned about traveling on my own for almost 10 years, it is not about the destination, it is about the PEOPLE you meet along the way, the FRIENDS you make and the memories you shared.

Interests

I'm passionate about food. There is nothing I won't try.

I love capturing memories in photographs, and trying new things - always!

Music, Movies, and Books

My guilty pleasure is binging Netflix and Korean dramas. If life was a movie, then why not living in colors and go all out? Live it up! I am not afraid to ugly cry to a movie - someone always seems to be cutting onions nearby.

Strictly non-fiction books, but I look forward to perhaps picking up a novel and bury my nose in it in Europe.

Suggest a song for me to listen today!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camped out on the rim of an active volcano.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tutor English, STEM subjects. Share travel tips and stories as a solo female traveler.

I really want to learn French, photography skills, and how to braid my hair. Also, I'm committed (finally... ) as an adult to learn how to swim. For adventures!!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope we vibe! I'd be up for exploring, and hanging out.
