CURRENT MISSION

Write about my experience after each trip to make my own biography. Hope it will be a best-seller!

ABOUT ME

I am a second year marketing student. My Business School has this unique tri-city model Singapore-Dubai-Sydney.
I have spent one amazing year in Singapore. Here,I worked part-time outside classroom, socialized with friends from different countries. At the end of my stay, I saved enough money to go on some trips to neighboring Malaysia. Such experience rekindled the desire to travel and see the world in me.
For the second year, I stayed in Dubai,United Arab Emirates. I did experienced a totally new culture. Whereas Singapore and Vietnam are somehow similarly Occidental, Dubai, the heart of the Middle East, is completely different. During my four months here, I came to understand how Islam is an essential part of daily life.
Then came a surprise. I got accepted for exchange to France. During my stay, I have learned a lot about France and other European countries.
After my exchange is over, I will go to Sydney and graduate there in two years'time. I am excited now!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I know about CS through my roommate who is an avid couchsurfer

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Does it count as "couchsurfing" if my host was the Bus Stop and Train Station? ;)
I once experienced sleeping on the bench of the Bus Stop in Singapore. Honestly, it is one of my best memories.
Singapore is a small island, so just image the place I "couchsurfed"was in the easternmost part while my home was westernmost. That time I missed the last train home on my way back from work. Next morning I got up at 6 to catch the first train home and prepare for the morning class.
Btw,Singapore is quite safe so I am not afraid of getting robbed. I would not recommend anyone to try this somewhere else. If something happens, don't hold me responsible,ok? ;)

I have stood on top of Burj Khalifa, the world's highest tower in Dubai.
I have been driving across Europe with my friends. We visited Zurich, Switzerland, traveling across the Swiss Alps to reach Italy. We then drove back all the way to France, visiting Nice with mesmerizingly beautiful beaches and dropping by Paris and Versailles.
