About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To learn more about myself.

ABOUT ME
I want to travel the world; meet new people, laugh and cry with others, get lost and trip on rocks, visit breathtaking mountains , scrape my knees while climbing. To eat what the natives eat, to cook up a storm of unidentifiable cuisine . I want to dip my jeans in mud and run in the rain. Learn a new language and get laughed at for wrong pronunciations. It is the real world that excites me. I've always found myself fantasizing and daydreaming about adventures and stories that I make in my head, about a girl who carries a backpack and runs around the world. Traveling makes me feel as though there are stars hiding in my hair; it's a very magical feeling and I simply cannot explain it. To explore, to seek, to discover.

I’m a designer in the fashion industry and I’m very interested in anything related to art, music, photography, all sorts of whacky creative stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

Run with the wind, make memories, seek new adventures, gain friends, fall down and pick yourself up again and never regret anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love making friends through couchsurfing, it’s just so different, I can’t put my finger to it but something about it is really magical.

I will be a very polite and neat guest and will do all the dishes, as you can see from my review. I haven’t been able to couchsurf much as I don’t get to travel for holiday that often but I’d take any chance I get :)

I do smoke but I respect all hosts and their house rules. If it is not permitted to smoke even downstairs or outdoors I will abide to the rules and not touch the cigarettes.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cannot offer a couch right now because I am living with my family. I can, however, bring you around Singapore and help you with your experience here, especially in the smaller nooks and crannies of this country.

Interests

I am a greedy gut for hobbies, always wanting to learn new skills. For starters, I am addicted to baking and chomping on baked goods. I love to eat and wander around. My favourite past time is probably laughing. I am interested in making music; I play the guitar and sing (terribly). Taking long walks around almost anywhere, cafe-hopping, doodling, painting, talking, museum.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with glowing planktons

Teach, Learn, Share

I make clay food, like miniature food out of clay. I can teach you how to work a sewing machine, or sew, or knit a square. We can share laughter and music and discuss about films.

I can teach you mandarin if you want ;)

I want to learn everything and anything that you have to teach.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I won’t turn up empty handed :)
