Heya! I am Sam :) I'm an exercise physiologist who is finishing up a postgraduate degree. Figuring out where I see myself in the future through traveling and meeting new people.

• Vego, fruit addict
• Like to enjoy some nice wine/coffee
• Prefer day time adventures over clubbing
• Love any outdoor activities/sports (e.g. cycling, walking, hiking, camping)

Words commonly used to describe me:
• Short (it's true)
• Silly (though 'fun' is a better word :P)
• Energetic (must be because of the amount of fruits I eat haha)
• Bubbly
• Clumsy (I'm always covered in bruises)
• Friendly
• Trustworthy
• Easygoing (but I don't often give into peer pressure, so don't bother haha)

I'm always so curious about different cultures; their food, lifestyles etc. I wish one day I'll get to experience them all, but for now I will settle with hearing stories from you and people from different places 😊

Quotes I live by:
Spread love, not hate.
Count blessings, not problems.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love adventures, and making new friends. I wish to meet new people of different origins through Couchsurfing. It is always good to know some locals when you travel to a new destination, so you can share stories and learn more about the local lifestyles. I think CS really makes any journey more special and memorable. I'd also love to hear about different tips for exploring in different cities! You know what they say: "the locals know best", and it's true!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music in general! It brings people together, and just brings good vibes to any situations. So pretty much any type that has a good tune to it!

I enjoy most movies, as long as they're not horror! I really CANNOT stand them. And as silly & cheesy as it sounds, I prefer movies with a happy ending haha.

Books...hmmm I'm not the biggest bookworm, though when I find one that I like, I won't drop it until I'm done reading. If you have good books recommendation, please tell me! I can always appreciate a good read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first solo traveling trip in Europe from July to August 2015.

Studying abroad in England for a semester in 2015.

Watching sunrise in negative degrees on a hot air balloon in Cappadocia, Turkey on 16/12/15.

If you welcome me to stay with you in your country/ city, I will not hesitate to book the next cheapest flight to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

The act of kindness. It doesn't hurt to show kindness to those around you, even if it is just a simple smile. You never know - a smile may just be the thing that makes someone's day more bearable.

Learning to live in the present and stop worrying too much about the future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't feel like I have much experience with traveling so far, even though I have been to quite a few countries. But I would love to share my company, conversations, laughs, my stories (if they are interested), my thoughts and whatever I can offer with the hosts that are kind enough to trust and offer me to stay with them :)

I guess I can teach them Chinese or English too?
