I'm from Singapore, completed my bachelor's at UC Berkeley where I studied economics and city planning, master's at the LSE where I studied operations research, and now work as a property market analyst. I'm interested in sustainable development and am keen to apply statistics and programming in that field.

I find travelling as enjoyable as it is enlightening. While I'm up for any local experience, I most enjoy physical activities and cultural immersion. A perfect vacation would feature good local food, beach runs or nature hikes, and trips to a museum/ historic site.

Above all, I love engaging with new places and people - can't wait for the next one!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I'm very much influenced by the travel show 'Lonely Planet Six Degrees', which impressed upon me the notion that the best way to experience a place is through the lens of a local. So whatever you recommend, I'll give it a try - even if you trick me into eating bull testicles like my friend once did.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I served in the army before college - that has shaped a large part of my values and perspectives today.

After completing my bachelor's degree, I backpacked alone in South America for 3 months and thoroughly enjoyed it. I learnt a lot from my hosts and friends I met along the way. Easily the best summer I've ever had!
