About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Sonia comes from Singapore and has always been quite the dreamer. The world is one never-ending adventure. She travels without much of a plan or a packed bag; only a diary to fill, an open heart and the all-essential packet of wet wipes.

PHILOSOPHY

Do something stupid once a day and make a good story out of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with a host in Larnaca, Cyprus who fed us home-made bread and tea - that was lovely!
Also made some of my bestest mates ever from the Primavera Sound 2012 couchsurfer's group :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The night sky in Boracay, Philippines. So bright you couldn't see any black.
Primavera Sound, Electric Picnic and Monegros Desert Festival 2012. My first music festivals ever, and they were brilliant!
Paragliding off 2000m in Slovenia - the most gorgeous place I've ever been in to date.
The Yacht Week, Croatia... More champagne showers than regular showers. Mental.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a pretty good fencing coach for beginners! I've also got a massive music library, and one of my favorite things is sharing these individual capsules of song and story. Let's do a music exchange! :-)
