About Me

I am an aspiring traveller and an amateur photographer (portraitures, children especially). I love hiking, people-watching, doodling and embracing the beauty of nature! :") Oh, I am also an adrenaline seeker, everything from roller coasters to paragliding, bungee jumping to skydiving, speaking of which, I want to be a certified skydiver one day! By the way, you can drop by my (travel) blog https://nasquare.wixsite.com/nthy to check out some of my visuals! Looks a little amateur I know, but its a site that I'm still working on and I still can't afford the monthly domain rent yet haha! Would appreciate the love! :")

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Heard from a friend that CS would get me connected to people around the world and that I get a chance to live like a local overseas! So one day, my courage overwhelmed my logical mind and here I am! I love stories, stories from new friends or old friends, I love exchanging stories with people and learning about cultures one step at a time! :-)

MOVIES and SHOWS
I love documentaries and action movies, but I watch almost anything, except horror films... could sit on the couch all day to binge-watch shows. I cannot pinpoint any favourites, really... (partly due to my goldfish memory which is really bad with names) but some which I really loveeeee are:
- Train to Busan (Korean apocalypse film)
- 報告老師!怪怪怪物!(Taiwanese film directed by novelist Giddens Ko)
- Parasite (a Korean movie/ social commentary by Bong Joon-ho)
- Coco (I love Disney films)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo Trip to South America for two months, without knowing how to speak Spanish, but got some of the best experiences and memories!! I long to be back one day!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything I know about the tiny little red dot - Singapore!
Also, I love languages and learning about other cultures!! And getting crafty, and a little bit of photography as well! I am currently learning Spanish and any help would be greatly appreciated (but I am open to learning all languages!!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook up a Singaporean meal for you or actually anything as long as there's a kitchen and food. (I love cooking and experimenting with ingredients!) Well, also my life experiences though I'm only about a quarter through my life and my philosophical take on timeless topics like the notions of beauty and ideals..... (don't get me started i loveeee these topics) And a smile!
