CURRENT MISSION Travel - see new things, learn new skills, meet awesome people ABOUT ME I'm just your regular 30 something girl who suddenly realised that I spent wayyy too much time working and quit my job to travel. You can get a feel of what I'm like by what people say about me here: uk.linkedin.com/in/vysia/ PHILOSOPHY “In a world where you can be anything; be kind”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING trying this out, and happy to share my home and show people around town wherever I’m living
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE This is my first time... I’m not looking to stay with anyone as I usually travel on business but would love to learn more about the local culture and get recommendations on what / where to eat, sights to see, things to do

Interests

I love reading, writing, diving and travelling. I've quit my job once to travel - learn new things and meet amazing people and never regretted it. Back in corporate life though, trying to find a balance between selling my soul and breaking free 😆

Music, Movies, and Books

Eclectic - I read Kant, Marcus Aurelius, Kafka, Plath, LM Montgomery, Enid Blyton, CS Lewis etc. I have very random taste in music - love classical music, especially Paganini. Not so good with cool music — the only albums I have on my iTunes are Pixies, Green Day, Garbage, Mazzy Star, Eagles, Savage Garden and Boyzone (yes!). Don’t really watch movies much, but will admit to watching 10 Things I Hate About You about 10 times. I was a teenager then.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in the Sipadan Islands of Borneo
Eat 5kg of chocolate in a day 😆

Teach, Learn, Share

My job involves advising startups on business and digital marketing strategy; can cook amazing Chinese/Malaysian food and roast dinners; give dance lessons.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lovely home cooked meals. Long conversations about anything and everything. A different perspective. Lots of joy and laughter. 😊
