About Me

I'm about to graduate from University in a couple of months and will be embarking on my first solo trip to Europe. I'm culturally-curious, fun-loving and conversant. I want to learn how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable- and I believe travelling is an excellent way to discover oneself!

As your guest, I'm respectful, tidy and considerate. I'm not only seeking out for people to host me, I would very much like to meet you for a drink/coffee! Trust me, you'll be in for a good time ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is my first time heading to Europe and I truly want to meet as many people as possible. I have always been amazed at how, individuals from such diverse background and come together as friends. Hopefully, through this platform, I'm able to establish a network of friendship across the world.

Interests

I enjoy a good discussion/conversation on a wide range of topics- politics, science & environment, pop culture and food. I find cooking very therapeutic and I especially look forward to hosting my friends for a good night of food and drinks. Hiking, touring museums or people-watching are simple pleasures in life.

When I travel, I like to do both the touristy stuff and hanging out with the locals. I find delight in most things new to me- be it chancing upon a local bookstore, chatting up a grocer or even taking a walk in the neighbourhood.
