About Me

On a round the world trip.

****Please note: I'm all about making new friends and GENUINE connections. PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME A REQUEST if you only care for a free place to stay and etc****

ABOUT ME

Loves to travel and to meet new people. Grew up in Malaysia and moved to the States. Lived in a couple of different cities and currently in Chicago! I speak conversational French and Spanish and am looking for any opportunity to practice and improve.

Travels whenever the opportunity arises. Enjoys short weekend trips.

I'm a solo traveler/backpacker

PHILOSOPHY

"I sort of realized I didn't have to be a busy ant. People get so caught up in ending up somewhere specific, in chasing a certain kind of life, but it's like that Alan Watts quote: Every point on the surface of the sphere is the center of the surface. You're at the center already."

Love that quote and am trying to move away from a hectic lifestyle. I'm almost there! Will be embarking on an around the world trip soon!

"There's always something else you could be doing," he said. "We're wasting a life as we speak."

Live not just the length of life, but more importantly, the width of it! We have no control over how long we live, but what we choose to do with life on a daily basis, that's within our control.
