About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Kindness is a right, not a privilege.

This is a challenge. But I believe I am a really passionate person who has learned to find joy in the smallest things and also learned to appreciate the beauty and transience of it. I love spontaneity, i love being challenged to try new things. And i love to see things in new perspectives - through traveling, conversations, films, books, anything that gives me a new pair of eyes :)

PHILOSOPHY

to always learn, to always love.

I'm currently living in Girona, Spain and will be here till December. I am not officially taking guests but i can make an exception if it is someone who means well and has written well to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted people in Singapore when J used to live there but i've definitely used it a lot more as a surfer and I am eternally grateful for this.

**NOTE**

If you're in Singapore, or going, you could maybe stay in my family's home. Please write to me hello in your native language or a language other than English. I will try to see if my family can host or you could do a home cooking experience at www.spicezikitchen.com

I am currently in Sri Lanka for the next month or so, and will be traveling in the northern areas for some research in culinary tourism. I am more than happy to meet up fellow foodies or people interested in deep diving in foodies.

Please allow me time to reply and I will try to make time for a meaningful experience for both of us 💖

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Making friends and building deep connections with couch surfers over conversations, meals, spontaneous hangouts, winter bathing, 🥹

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music in general according to the situations i am in. If its party time: then anything upbeat or bollywood will be good.

But mostly when i am reading/long train rides: Bomba estero, esteman, the national, sigur ros, of monsters and men, the script, marina and the diamonds, travis, hush sounds, iron&wine are some to name.

i believe in engaging with anything that is interesting or that intrigues me.
