About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life and be best of who I can be! I'm hoping to be a good Epidemiologist, and Endocrinologist saving the world!

ABOUT ME

Malaysian but lived in 5 countries, identify as Finnish. Finland is my home!

Essentially I'm an Introvert, worse- an INTJ! I'm coincidentally also really shy, some might misinterpret it as snobbish at first. However I can be really talkative and energetic when I am in the mood, and I open up once I get to know you. I don't do well in large groups but I love one-on-one chats and getting to know each individual at a personal level.

I LOVE FOOD, music, reading, movies, drama, theatre, rock climbing, trekking and did I mention food? LOL.

PHILOSOPHY

Normal is boring, so go crazy!

If you don't change your life, life has a way of changing you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfing is awesome. It really makes a trip more interesting with the people and cultures that we come across. It widens your mind, exposes you to things you wouldn't have seen or done without it. Through couch surfing, I experience the best of people and it has taught me to be humble and hopefully less judgmental. Instead of looking at the differences, look at our similarities as a species.

Interests

Rock climbing, bungee jumping, eating, eating and did I mention eating?! Getting to know new cultures, meeting different sorts of people and hey, definitely travelling! Other stuff like Anthropology, music, writing, etc.

Love travelling, I lived in India, Australia, and Finland for a few years, and the experiences was amazing though very different.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm alright with most shows, but I love those epic ones like LOTR, Call Me By Your Name, The Intouchables, The Shape of Water, UP and moving movies eg. Wonder. I enjoy foreign movies too!

I love all sort of music except maybe heavy metal (but learning to try to enjoy it).

I read everything but have problem remember who wrote what. I don't have any particular favourite writer because I believe each has a different story to tell and a different way of getting the message through.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Doing the Finnish thing- Finnish summer cabin, having extremely hot sauna (80 degrees Celsius) and then skinny dipping into a cold, very cold lake!

Seen the Aurora borealis (Northern Lights!)
