About Me

CURRENT MISSION

my mission is to use photography to create an awareness and bring light to people's stories.

ABOUT ME

I'm in my early twenties, recently graduated. I live in Melbourne, Australia. I'm fairly easy going, straightforward but I love being spontaneous.

My attention span can be quite small which is why I don't tend to settle in places for too long. I enjoy exploring little quirky and weird things, such as abandoned places, old houses, going to estate sales etc.

I am a third culture kid, I grew up in Brunei, born in Malaysia and I call Melbourne my second home. I have a strange neutral accent that changes depending on who I talk to: it can go from American to Aussie to Asian ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I strive to do my best and I believe you should search for opportunities and when you search, you will find.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently new! I plan to participate when I return to Melbourne soon though :)

Interests

People watching is probably my favourite past-time.
I am a photographer so a lot of my time is spent with the camera or the computer. I tend to photograph strangers on the street, and I love initiating conversation.

Through meeting strangers, you can always learn something new about the world and yourself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I take pride in my work and the most amazing thing to date is a long term documentary project I did working with low-income housing. The people I've met along the way has shaped me to be the person I am today and the person I strive to be..

in terms of traveling, I've lived with a traditional tribe in the Borneo Island multiple times, I've caravan up to the Outback of Australia on a cattle station, Ayers Rock/Uluru was amazing..
