About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Recently moved to Shanghai for work. I travel a lot for my work too. Looking to meet people to hang out for drinks or meals. Give me a shout! :)

ABOUT ME

I went to New Zealand on a working holiday visa in 2012 as my first solo backpacking mission. I was bitten by the travel bug and happily infected ever since. I have traveled quite extensively to a few countries in South East Asia and Europe after that. And recently I just spent the summer for 3 months in British Columbia in Canada. I would like to explore the world as much as I can and meet interesting people along my journey.

PHILOSOPHY

I haven't been everywhere but it's on my list. - Susan Sontag

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a great platform to connect both travelers and locals together. I have been to a lot of couchsurfing meet up and met a lot of amazing people there. I love meeting people around the world and I think couchsurfing is a great way to do this.
