Overview
About Me
I believe in going glo-cal - visiting new places but taking on the local approach. Have traveled across SEA, India, China, Australia and Europe but still exploring as much as I can. Love exchanging stories.
I do branding/digital stuff for work and have recently started building a digital network of support for caregivers to patients with Alzheimer's or a related form of Dementia. Believe in using the tools that I have to contribute to the community around me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
CS is always a great way to meet people from different cultures and there's
always going to be an opportunity of exchange in experiences and stories from travels or life in general.
Couchsurfed through a couple of cities in Europe connecting via the network and with people I met as I traveled. Learnt the most about the culture and the way of life in each city from the experiences! Definitely an exciting and different way of travel.
