About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To party and live it up with a person of every nationality in every possible corner of the world

ABOUT ME

I was bitten by the travel bug when I spent a semester on exchange in Sweden, and since then, I've been trying to make the most of whatever opportunity I've been able to get to go abroad. I believe that travelling is a form of education that is unrivalled in its own unique way.

I've just begun a year-long Master's course in Public Policy and Administration at the London School of Economics. My experience so far has been nothing short of magical...meeting people from everywhere (The LSE is every Couchsurfer's dream come true..more nationalities are represented in its student body than in the UN!!!!) and taking in all that London has to offer.

I'm a firm believer in environmental and animal rights. I've been a vegetarian for the past three years because I believe in respecting all sentient life.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everyday we spend on this earth is a gift to us and we should cherish this gift and act accordingly.

Interests

In my free time I play and watch football(soccer), read, and of course travel or dream about my next destination.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stopped eating meat entirely within a week.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn a new language but wish I'd the time to. Coming from Singapore, I believe that I'm well placed to share with people what I know about the fusion between Asian and Western cultures.
