Overview
About Me
After spending 8 years in Singapore, I decided to embark on a backpacking trip starting from July 2015. Now the big question is when am I gonna stop traveling. I still haven't found the answer to that.
Now I work online and living for a permanent digital nomad lifestyle.
I am conquering the world with my boyfriend and trying to connect with as many people as we can. I always try to get off the beaten track, avoiding places that are bustling with tourist waves. So if you have any recommandations on things to do/eat/see while I am around your city, it will be greatly appreciated!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I can afford to stay in a hotel but that's not part of my traveling adventures. I'm more bond to meet locals or people who are familiar with the places I am traveling to and get to know them, their lifestyle and cultures. Everyday is a learning journey for me. How can I keep on learning new things if I don't go completely outside of my normal environnement? It's easy to just request for a free accommodation but that's not what I am looking for. I'm looking forward to experiencing locals' lifestyle. That's why I'm a traveler and not a tourist!
