Overview
About Me
Dear you: I am very much interested in life and things that bring people life. For me, that's mostly food and art. Even better if had at the same time.
I'm majoring in Arts & Humanities and doing a minor in Philosophy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
There's no point visiting a place without poking through its nooks and crannies. The Shanghainese call them longtangs-- the alleyways where locals gossip and where life pulses. It's become for me a metaphor for the intimate spaces in a city where tourists shun, and where locals know to navigate best.
I'm on couchsurfing because it's the only way to befriend a place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've circumnavigated the perimeter of Singapore on foot in three days and three nights. I did it again recently, barefoot.
