About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world by living in places & meeting people

ABOUT ME

I'm a rather spontaneous person, always up for some fun, adventure or party. I love the beach, am especially into windsurfing and surfing!

I love meeting new people and finding out more about them. I may seem unfriendly at 1st if I don't smile, but once I warm up to you, I can be quite silly. I tend to be in my own little world sometimes, staring into space and saying totally random stuff; when that happens just give me a little knock on the head =)

I have a plan to work, live & get to know the culture (6 mths - 1 yr) in different places, as I make my way around the world (well not the world literally, but I have a list of places I would like to go). First destination was the Maldives, and then who knows?!

PHILOSOPHY

"It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world."
- John Steinbeck

You can't predict the future, you can only plan for now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to share my experience & tell my friends abt couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some locals & fellow travellors everytime I travelled, surfed a few couches and brought a couple of CSers around in Singapore too. It's been awesome everytime & I've made a few friends I know I would keep for life!

Interests

Windsurfing & Surfing! Some other sports here & there too. I enjoy a good adrenaline rush. Into anything related to music (concerts, theatre, musicals etc), movies, chilling w friends, enjoying a good book with a cup of coffee/tea, snapping random pictures of nature & things.
Would love to travel & work around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Too many to name, but no horror flicks for me!

Music: I have varying taste - I like a good mix of soft rock, some pop, alternative, retro, but no trance, techno nor heavy metal. Everything else suits my ears. I like live bands too.

Books: Summer Sisters, Catcher in the Rye, Till We Meet Again, Dead Even, You Can't Sing Without Me, River's End, Tuesdays with Morrie, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Retribution, Eleven Minutes, For One More Day

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experienced total complete silence at Haleakala volcano in Maui.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to pick up the local boys in Bali! Probably how to windsurf, play the piano too.
