About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find the wackiest things to do/eat/see in Europe.

ABOUT ME

I've been studying for as long as I can remember but all the education in the world can never best learning through experience. So I'm taking a gap year this 2014 to travel around Europe.

I'm open to all kinds of new experiences. I like having meaningful interactions and friendships and I love nothing more than sincerity. Reading, writing, music and art of all kinds deeply interest me. I absolutely adore meeting and conversing with new people, but I may also be a little quiet and shy at first.

I want to meet all sorts of people from all over the world and experience all the different cultures. Starting with my very first solo backpacking trip around Europe. I'd like to think that i'm adventurous, outgoing and curious. Hopefully this trip will make me bolder.

P.S: I'll be flying into France, Paris on Sept 1 and flying out of Sweden, Stockholm on Jan 20. Is anyone interested in having a companion on the road?

PHILOSOPHY

"Work as hard as you can, imagine immensities, don't compromise, and don't waste time." -Debbie Millman.

This philosophy I adopted from the wise and wonderful Debbie Millman (read her books!). I have big dreams and they scare the fuck out of me, but I'm going to chase them anyways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only recently started using CS actively. I don't have the ability to host because I don't have a home/room of my own. And I haven't yet had the chance to surf. Hopefully that'll all change soon. If you're in Singapore, I can't host but I may be able to bring you around.

Interests

Art, nature, adventure sports, food, reading, writing, films, video games! Meaningful conversations and a good time. Actually, I'm willing to try anything and everything.
