Hi, my name is Nini! I admit I can be pretty reserved at times but I promise that'll a change after a beer or two! I'm extremely easygoing and super low-maintenance. I would think of myself as someone who is very open-minded and willing to try new experiences.

I am always on the lookout for value-for-money experiences; be it for hole-in-the-wall eateries, drinking or activities. It's a fun, personal challenge. ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing looking for a place to stay and a chance to meet new people! I am an absolute sucker for finding hidden gems for food, drinks and activities and would love to see a foreign place in your perspective. :-)

Interests

I love drinking; that is without a doubt. I find joy in discovering quaint, value-for-money food and drinking spots.

I'm pretty active. I love exploring nature trails and trekking too! I used to play hockey and netball, but I spend most of my time now rock climbing. If I could snorkel every day I would. I also love theme parks!

I've always had the privilege of traveling to faraway places since I was young. My first solo trip was to Thailand when I was 18 years old, and it was an impulsive one. I've been on the road ever since.

I love history and science museums. A perfect day to me would be a stroll in the park, a day at the museum, a hearty dinner and a few drinks afterwards. :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Indie-rock to RnB to the oldies... Vampire Weekend, Kendrick Lamar, Elvis Presley, The Beatles...

Movies - Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist and 500 Days of Summer are my all-time favourite movies. Thanks to Netflix, I've been hooked onto How to Get Away With Murder, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Inbetweeners... I love scaring myself with horror films!

Books - I grew up reading the Harry Potter series. I love Mitch Albom and Dan Black books. I am currently reading The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing to tell my kids one day is how I impulsively booked a flight to Thailand when I was 18 years old. I spent a good week there (without taking into account the day I had really bad food poisoning and monkeys trying to break into my accommodation) by the beach in Krabi.
