About Me

CURRENT MISSION

‎"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." -Jimi Hendrix

ABOUT ME

Majoring in Art has opened my eyes to a whole new world. I love seeing and experiencing the world in a multiple perspectives, not as what the tourism board has set us to. I wish to take part in various cultures and would be more than happy to introduce mine to everyone! :)

I am in love with food. In love. While trying my best to be healthy (or so I choose to believe in), I cannot help but indulge in the fattiest fat and the sweetest sweet. Bring me to dessert buffet and I will not leave until the last cake is savored.

I believe in magic. I believe in talking animals, fairies and witches. In unicorns, leprechauns and gold corns. In the power of love, the power of will, the power of peace.

I love the mountains. Although, honestly, I get scared driving up mountains. I think Final Destination scarred me for life. I should not have watched it. I failed my product design module back in college for refusing to enter the workshop. :/ yes, I think that's my phobia.

I want to travel. I want to meet people. I want to hug people and feel good. I want to meet the children of the world. I want to overcome my fear of driving up mountains. I want to go on a road trip. I want to get stuck in an endless road with a broken car. I want to walk. I want to learn. I want to listen to stories. I want to climb trees. I want to swim with schools of fish (actually, I dont know how to swim). I want to sky dive. I will.

PHILOSOPHY

With the world globalising, I feel that the need for materials is escalating to a point where people forget the little things that are much important. I want to connect with the bliss of living without greed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I havent surfed. I dont know why I (still) feel as though I could be imposing on hosts - which I am sure is not true. Maybe one day, I will. :)

BUT, I do meet up. I do attend gatherings, dinner and coffee. And I would love to meet you. :)

Interests

Culture. History. Art. Food. Nature. Painting. Sketching. People watching. Dancing. Walking. Sculpting. Thinking. Stoning. Reading. Sleeping. Listening to stories. Legends. Myths. Swords. Monsters. Magic. Niki de Saint Phalle. Words. Mysteries.

Music, Movies, and Books

I dont know why I have a penchant for movies set before my time. From Victoria, to Nowhere boy, I just love it. Oh, and I also have a biased liking towards music by female singers. hehe. Not that I think male singers are not good enough, they ARE, but it's just that I get to sing along without feeling like I'm gonna cause my cat to die, with female singers. I am not good at singing, I just love it. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

People. I have met amazing, generous people throughout my visits.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything just sounds lazy and vague. But really, everything. To have specific agenda to learn is so restricting. So let's maybe it's a good thing to be vague, this time.

Indonesia, Malaysia, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In
