About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Surfing the travel tsunami!

ABOUT ME

Hey! Got back from 18 months of travelling abroad late 2010. I loved meeting so many cool people from all over the world and of course, eating around the globe!

Travelling is a strong passion. The feeling of putting backpack on and just go and not knowing where exactly you are heading is a thrill.

Since my return, travel bug really never left. Did a couple of weeks in NY and a couple of weeks in Sweden, England, Brunei so far this year. Am currently planning the next destination.

I am fun loving, friendly, caring and outgoing. Couchsurfing community is such a great way to meet like-minded people and share stories with them.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience each day as if it's your last day on Earth.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
