Hello! I studied English Literature at Nanyang Technological University. I am born and raised in sunny Singapore. I like to make new friends and learn more about different cultures from all around the world. I love to travel either on a shoe string budget or more, no complaints there. :P

I was in choir in primary school, in touch rugby and girl guides (we made an oven out of cardboard boxes and baked cookies in them!!) in secondary school, then Chinese drama in junior college. I then volunteered to tutor the Boys' Town children in university.

I like to cook Paleo dishes. I believe whole foods nourish the body and soul~~~.

I like the peace and quiet but I can also be loud and crazy with the right people.
I think I am an independent person and I think the kind CS hosts that have hosted me before have made me regain faith in humanity! <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to make friends with a local and live a day (or a few days) in the shoes of a local.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been teaching English to both Korean and Singaporean children and teenagers for close to 4 years now. So, I can teach you English.:D

If you are interested in learning Chinese, I can teach you too!

Let me know in advance so maybe I can prepare some learning materials.

"Happiness is a state of mind"

“A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
― Roald Dahl
