I'm currently 28 years old (turning 29 in February), and am working as a wildlife rescue officer with a non-profit organisation in Singapore. Part of my job includes rescuing injured wild animals such as snakes, birds, wild boars, monkeys and other reptiles like monitor lizards. I help out with rehabilitating these animals once they have recovered and aid with the release wherever necessary.

During my free time, I enjoy training muay thai and brazilian jiujitsu. I also love reading fiction books like Nicholas Sparks and Jodi Picoult. I also love to take nature hikes around Pulau Ubin and the nature reserves in Singapore.

I graduated with a diploma in molecular biotechnology and also have a degree in Sociology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Given my degree in Sociology, I love to learn more about the diverse cultures around the world and would want to try and understand why people do things in a certain way as compared to others in a different country.
