Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

To interact with locals in their home country, find like-minded travel buddies and if I'm lucky, to find eternal, genuine friends :-)

Interessen

PHOTOGRAPHY
I'm into landscape and wildlife photography (which is rather limited by where I live in). It's something I have yet to fully master given the multitude of techniques and perspectives to a single photo, but never fails to intrigue me every time. I also took a course on astrophotography where I took photos of the sun, stars and beautiful nebula ^^

TRAVEL
To put it simply, I'd not die in peace if I have not traveled 'round the globe at least once. If anyone understands the hectic lifestyle in Singapore, you'd know how difficult it is to make time for long-duration trips. So I'm not gonna let that hinder my dream of travelling. I like to take my time while on the road, and I prefer spending on experiences rather than material goods. I don't have many needs as I like to travel on a budget - I don't even mind sleeping in a tent!

Why do I love travel? I'm into nature, I major in Life Sciences (Biomedical Science) in my university currently. And I got to learn so much about it - I mean, who doesn't wanna immerse themselves in the beauty of nature? It's totally a dream lifestyle for me that I'll never get to enjoy in my home country. It's a beautiful city, nonetheless!

FOOD
Of course, in order to travel we gotta fill our tummies with good food. I looove baking and cooking. I'm still new with cooking local food but I'll get there some day xD If someone were to ask, "What will you bake for someone you meet for the first time?", I guess that would be Chocolate Lava Cake. I'm more into using authentic chocolate bars for its flavour rather than cocoa powder for a richer taste. :)

ANIMAL LOVER
I grew up with my dog since I was 11 and she has been with me through my milestones. She's the reason why I've grown to understand and love dogs so naturally. Not just dogs, but all kinds of animals. I've stopped eating pork and sharks' fin for about 7 years (& counting) and I'm working my way towards a flexi-vegetarian lifestyle (eat meat in moderation and with respect). Animal enthusiasts, unite!
