Hi, my name is Jia Qin and I love to write about travel and social causes. From 2008 to 2012, I spent 4 years living in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, a third world country, and I saw how poverty made a difference to someone who lived just 5 minutes away. Since then, the urge to travel, discover, and tell has never been more desirable.

Now, I’m a Year 3 student in Singapore Management University, School of Social Sciences (and loving every single second of my #studentlife). In my free time, I’d be under the sun (or in the library), playing Everglow by Coldplay on repeat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience culture and what better way to do so than by living with a local?
