About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to buy a boat and start sailing by 2023. (;

ABOUT ME

I'm from Singapore and English is our first language. I work in an EdTech company and I'm part of the team at an international Music and Arts Festival in Singapore and recently in Ireland as well. I've also volunteered on rugby tournaments in Singapore and USA. I enjoy meeting new people (why else am i here?)! I'm in love with music, and exploring new music from places I visit! I think its one of the most amazing ways to learn about a city. I sing (kinda) so if you want to hit me up and jam, why not? Also, I love my food, I need my beer, so if you're in Singapore, chat me up and I'll explore the city with you!!! ;D

PHILOSOPHY

I sing, I laugh, I travel.

Just read When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. You should definitely read it too!

I'm really open to new things, so if you have any great films, music or books to introduce, please do!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many!

Diving with Bull Sharks in Fiji (part of my PADI open water certification). Drinking in the military barracks to celebrate a rugby win.

Glacier hiking in Iceland! It was my first time actually hiking and on a glacier! It was amazing really.

Visited Plitvice Lakes National Parks in Croatia, one of the "Places to see before you die". BEAUTIFUL.

2-month solo backpacking trip all around Turkey. Loved it so much and I miss that place already. If you're Turkish and in Singapore, hit me up, I want to practice speaking Turkish! (;

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn a new language. I could teach English, Mandarin and Sign language if you're interested.
I want to learn fishing, sailing, a new instrument, dancing, cooking a new cuisine, anything that I don't know! I'm basically very very curious.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a decent singer, pretty good conversationalist and effectively bilingual. If you don't mind i can attempt to cook you a meal as well! I also laugh A LOT so that'll keep you entertained. hahaha.
