CURRENT MISSION

To find out more about myself and the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm 22 and I love to eat, cook and eat even more. I love doing sports (yoga, running and playing ball games). My friends would describe me as a bubbly, outgoing and positive girl. I love travelling and exploring. I can be quite adventurous (but I do think twice before doing things too crazy).

I love going around to explore new food place all over the world. I love the steak from Hawksmoor in London, Dim sum from Tim Ho Wan in HK and Beef Cheek Sandwich from The Grounds of Alexandria in Sydney. I am a hardcore foodie, but I love my mum's cantonese black chicken soup best. I love cooking and trying out how new cooking techniques, but I am terrible at baking.

I am an amateur photographer but I hope I can take more photos as I explore the world. You can check out my photos here: http://instagram.com/shannaaaaaa

Hoarding homewares is also a hobby - so I want to find out new places where I can source for homewares. I also have a blog where I write and ramble about my life too. My hoarding tendencies and rambles are expressed here:

I enjoy jazz, pop and Indie music. I love to drink coffee (and beer). So I enjoy chilling with my friends at nice bars and talk about everything under the stars/sun. I hope I'll meet kind and friendly, like-minded people from all over the world, whom I can chill with too.

PHILOSOPHY

Leave fear behind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet like minded and open-minded people. I hope friendships can be forged all over the world. Meeting different people from different places also give me fresh ideas and perspectives on what the world is and how people are like outside my little sunny island.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any couch surfing experience yet (updated as on July 2014),but I'm looking forward to it!

Interests

I love reading and travelling. I can sleep for many hours and just roll on my bed for hours. But I also enjoy taking long walks in beautiful parks. I used to be a cross country runner, so I still enjoy leisure long runs now.

However, since I got injured from running, I have been doing more yoga and swimming. I also enjoy basketball, netball and badminton.

I also love food related activities such as:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Red Square in Moscow - this was where communism took off in October 1917

Penguins on Phillip Island in Melbourne - they were absolutely adorable and puny!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like taking food photos! I love cooking together with different people, sharing different food culture.

Of course, I wouldn't mind taking long runs and have long conversations over a cup of beer/coffee.
