About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be less "asian" when it comes to travel. explore freely, be bold and mix around!

ABOUT ME

An undergraduate student who is new to solo travels overseas and exploring the road less travelled. Keen to go out of my comfort zone and have a blast of a time in my upcoming Erasmus programme in Spain, Madrid!

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life through passion and feelings. I'm all for pursuing what you believe is right for you and to focus on what you can do. It's a complete waste of time and energy worrying about what others can do. Set the benchmark yourself and you're a winner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Free to meet up with people who are down in Singapore or Malaysia! Yet to own a place where I can host people and provide some true Asian hospitality.

Meanwhile, to see If i get a chance to stay with locals and find out the true side of the city wherever I may be in Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

An amateur in this!

Unable to host people and looking for someone trustworthy to host me on my first trip in europe.

Interests

Sport fanatic and I have a thing for endurance races. Did a marathon and a Olympic distance Triathlon. Hooked onto it and will be back for more (:

Music, Movies, and Books

Love indie music, especially talents that have yet been recognized as a true artistes.

Big movie buff as well. Horror's a must for me (Paranormal Activity to me, tops off as one of the scariest show I've seen to date). Big fan of inspirational stories like Sea Biscuit, Gladiator and Constant Gardener. Not to forget The Diving Bell and the Butterfly!

Non-fiction and biographies just thrills me and keeps me glued to it. Reading them makes you feel more part of the diverse world today (:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I did was to backpack with my sisters to Japan. It was our first trip overseas as siblings and it was just legendary! Japan was also awesome as it felt so distant from the rest of the world. Their unique culture just makes your trip feel like a surreal dream.
