Hi there! I'm currently in Berlin, pursuing my Masters in Sociology / International Development, and am originally from Singapore :)

I love solo traveling and really getting to know new people in different cities :) Always up for meeting up with travelers / hosts for good conversation/food/drinks and a cultural and conversational exchange of our life stories. I used to work in management consulting, startups, and the philanthropy space and am really interested in education / social enterprise / entrepreneurship / international development.

Some mottos / values I live by:
- You are the energy you attract
- Get comfy with being uncomfy
- Equal opportunities in education for all

I've also lived in NYC for a year with a fast growing startup company, while doing an entrepreneurship programme at NYU. Have always had great experiences on CS and looking forward to meeting more people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
