About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make money, travel, repeat.

PHILOSOPHY

The straight path may be the quickest, but it is by no means the most interesting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly surfed, only hosted once. I have a busy life so I'm never sure if I can host. Surfing or hosting, either way I get to meet all sorts of people, which is what this whole thing is about!

Interests

FOOD - exotic, spicy and/or homemade meaning I can't get it anywhere else. I will try to bring food from my home too... I have a supply of 'instant Singaporean food' that I make my mom ship to me HAHA. But then I cannot bear to eat it... so maybe I will share it with you ;)

Cafes and clubs, for my down and high times.

Exploring cities on foot and discovering my own little favorite spots.

  • cats
  • dining
  • recipes
  • clubbing
  • traveling
  • surfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I don't read a lot, but when I do it's usually graphic novels aka comics for grown-ups heh

Music: A little bit of everything! There's too much good music out there in every genre. I don't discriminate. Bring me some music and I'll tell you if I like it :P

Movies: Anything by Pixar. I am a child at heart haha I still watch cartoons on the weekends... How embarrassing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being alive, and blessed with all that I have around me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Just bought a really basic DSLR camera... Hoping to figure out how to use it. Meanwhile it's been taking gorgeous pictures of my travels, without me even trying!

Living alone teaches me many things. I'm always on the lookout for quick delicious recipes, and how to take better care of my long-haired shedding-variety cat.
