About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover my passion in life and enjoy every moment on the way!

ABOUT ME

I'm just a curious girl next door that secretly hopes she can stay in many different countries so that every time she opens her door, there's something new for her to discover.

Ok ok. May be it doesn't need to be different countries. Probably just need a secret door in the wardrobe like Narnia. ahaha.

Loves to laugh.
Loves to make people laugh. =D But it really depends on how you see it.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't worry, be happy.

"What would you do if you weren't afraid?" - from Who moved my cheese.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It all started when a lecturer of mine told us about couchsurfing in class. I instantly got attracted to the concept. I never knew there was a way to stay with the locals and learn about their culture!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurf once and it was so interesting! I get to meet interesting people with different walks in life.

Interests

Currently, I'm interested in random things.

Handicrafts, the art of eating and discovering interesting scientific facts are always a YES. =D

I've also gained some interest in Marathons recently. ahaha. I'm not a runner but the satisfaction of completing the course is just so fulfilling!
