About Me

Living in wanderlust, as much as I can afford to.

I'm from Singapore and has grown up in the little tropical island. It's made me love the beach and nature and just immersing myself in them. Since Singapore is such a tiny island, I've always been traveling to learn more of other cultures and understand the diversity in the world. It intrigues me how everyone's so different yet we all can get along well.

While I was on a student exchange in Holland, I travelled through Europe and couch hosted and couch surfed, meeting people from all walks of life and learning things you can't learn from the books. Being back in Singapore, I want to continue traveling, within and beyond Asia.

"I've seen enough, I know enough", said no one EVER. So, I will always want to meet more people, know more cultures, see more things, it will never be enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Still rather new to couchsurfing as I've always travelled with others or chose hostels. But, with more travels, I meet more locals and realise that's the best way to travel everywhere and learn all the different cultures.

Hence, my main purpose is to be acquainted with people from all walks of life and learn the different cultures locally while traveling.
