✍️ Tips on writing a CS request:

- Mention the host's name (if you are not sure, read the references to know what other people call the host)
- Share what you find interesting about the host's profile (e.g. pet, hobby, job)
- Specify why you want to stay with the host (e.g. get to know a local)
- Introduce yourself (why you are visiting, what you want to do during your stay etc)

ME

Or hear it from these guys:

❓️CSers who met her: Beware! Whether you are the one who's visiting her country or she's the one visiting your country, she's THE ONE with more questions.

🐌 CSers who hosted her: If there is a competition for eating the slowest, sleeping the most, writing the longest email or all 3-in-1, sign her up for it!

💡Her NUS Sociology professor of crime: I'm her idol!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Her parents: I'm her idol too but sometimes I need reminders when travel seems to be everything on her mind and that means leaving my side and making me worried!

👯‍♀️ Her friends: She's like an ice cube that you can see through. Whatever emotions she's feeling, she wears it on her face.

🤗 Don't believe? Meet me and find out! :p

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others the way they want to be treated.

What goes around comes around.

There is a price to pay for what I do and more importantly, what I don't do.

Assumptions and denials are the termites of relationships.

If I can make someone happy, why not? I'll probably end up making myself happy too! :)
