Singaporean with Korean ancestry. I'm a portrait photographer in love with cultures and meeting new people! It's a blessing to be enriched by new perspectives.

Currently in school doing the International Baccalaureate and planning to study International relations or Global affairs in university.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people! I'd love to bring visitors around.

Interests

I do portrait photography and you can take a look at some of my work on my Instagram:

or my website:

I'm working on a series of photo projects titled Global Identities!

Travel (ahaha isn't this obvious) is also a big part of my life. I believe that if everyone was allowed to travel and experience the cultures of different places, there would be no such thing as prejudice. There are so many friends to make out there, who has time for enemies?

Lorde, Jon Bellion and Troye Sivan
I read widely but love British classics ranging from Jane Austen to Hanif Kureishi, as well as Latin American Magical Realism from Marquez and Allende!
Of late, I've loved watching Skam

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I raised US$5k to help the blind, interviewed guide dog users and educated the public about visual impairment! Small act to help make my city more guide-dog friendly :)
