ABOUT ME

Heyo,

Im Zimu from Singapore, you can just call me Zim if you don't know how to pronounce that. Got to know couchsurfing through a good friend of mine and this is really an awesome way to meet new people.

I'm open to new ideas and I love changes in my life. A risk taker and like to mix around with people with very different ways of living their life.

I enjoy having great conversations with others as well as with my inner self.

PHILOSOPHY

“It seemed an advantage to be traveling alone. Our responses to the world are crucially moulded by the company we keep, for we temper our curiosity to fit in with the expectations of others...Being closely observed by a companion can also inhibit our observation of others; then, too, we may become caught up in adjusting ourselves to the companion's questions and remarks, or feel the need to make ourselves seem more normal than is good for our curiosity.”
― Alain de Botton, The Art of Travel

See big to think big.
