From Singapore, based in Bristol studying International Social and Public Policy.

I always believe that humans are walking libraries, and enjoy hearing about their life stories and anything under the sun. Always curious, always passionate, learning and unlearning.

My friends call me a jack-of-all-trades as I often can't stick to one thing. This also means I have tried a multitude of jobs and have loads of stories to share.

Sometimes I travel by myself, but other times with my boyfriend! This is his CS profile — https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2018574067?utm_campaign=profile_share&utm_source=couchsurfing-ios.

I’m also open to hosting people in my house in Bristol, provided you’ve got references and a proper request :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always find myself learning so much about the world simply by talking to people and it's always nice having a point of contact when I'm in a new country alone.

I also hope to give back to CS when I have the capabilities to and let others enjoy the same things I have benefitted from

Music, Movies, and Books

Only time you’ll ever find me indoors is when I’m reading a book, usually anything under the sun non-fiction

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walk 75km in 23 hours

Teach, Learn, Share

Perspectives on life, happiness, wealth, home, or how my upbringing has shaped the way I view the world. Also up to talk about running, climbing, caving or mountaineering!

I also interned quite a bit in the social sector and just have been exposed to a lot of non-profit and social impact work. Some of them include volunteering three months with hill tribes in Northern Thailand, volunteering with refugees in France and also befriending lots of vulnerable populations in Singapore. I'm always happy to share my perspectives and experiences for I believe that's the only way to counter societal assumptions and judgements

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything about sports, about Singapore and its social issues. I’ve worked with ex-convicts, youth delinquents, low-income families.
