About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To truly soak in life and live it the way my heart tells me. And doughnuts.

ABOUT ME

27 years on Earth and all I get is a measley box to write in?? RAWRRRR.

I kid. I'm friendly, and am both outgoing and introverted. Chit chats and random stuff are awesome, and am also totally cool with just being quiet and chill. Deeper conversations excite me... even if it's out of my league, I'd try to understand. I also find people enjoyable (unless you're a meanie!) and would like to know people from other cultures and hear their viewpoints about things.

My current likes are climbing, coffee and travel. Knowledge-wise, I also recently dabbled into monotheist theology and media literacy. I'm a pretty regular person who is eager to broaden my horizon.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in being genuine and to learn to be humble.

Like Yasmin Ahmad said, "Your toughest battle is in here *points to the heart*. And that is to remove as much arrogance as you can, remove self importance; step back, be nobody... so that you can be part of something much much bigger."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to! Would love to go for it.

Interests

Chilling in foreign countries and basking in its mood and pulse. Meeting and getting to know people from those places. Hanging out with friends over a cuppa. I love wall climbing, and to curl up in a nice spot to read a book.

I like listening to random post-rock stuff and some pop. Currently into Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, Furniture and Sami Yusuf.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Reaching the top of Mount Kinabalu with the blanket of clouds beneath me and seeing the sun emerging from behind the rocks. It was personally a scary hike up for me ('fraid I would roll off the mountain!!) but it was worth it. Planning to do it again :)
