About Me

I love adventure and all things new, and anything to do with food, I’m definitely up for it. I also love diving and writing amongst many other things. And I also really like sharks ☺️ Since young, I knew that the one thing I had to do before I died was to travel, so this year, I got a student exchange to Berlin. Right before this started, I went on my first solo trip completely by accident and it was then I realized how much I love wandering on my own and seeing the world, meeting new people and really just living in the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Experience, experience, experience!! To meet new people and make friends!! I feel that one of the the most interesting things about traveling are to meet people and listen the stories/experiences that they have. Hopefully, I get to more of these experiences through this app

Music, Movies, and Books

I don’t know where to start cos there’s just too much. For music, it ranges from EDM to old school music like Bob Marley - I’m a fan of it all!!

For movies, some of my favorites are Harry Potter (actually bought all 8 movies and watched them multiple times 🙃), Lord of the Rings (same situation as HP 🙃), Interstellar, 12 Storeys (A Singaporean film), Chungking Express (really interesting one!) Psycho (mind blowing!!), Eat Pray Love, Lion King(!!!! Absolutely love this !!!!), Jackie Chan movies (LOL) and the list goes on. But mainly Action, Comedy, Adventure and Animation are my favorites!

Books... Well, it’s been a while since I last read due to the traveling and all, but I really like classics such as Jane Austen, Robinson Crusoe, Little Men and Little Women etc. Also took a Sociology module on Marx, Durkheim and Weber once and I really enjoyed those too! I also love the occasional thriller, especially by James Patterson

My favourite book at the moment is All the Bright Places
