About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Climb to the tip of the rabbit fur"

ABOUT ME

I've lived all over the world and I've travelled extensively so I'm very open and adaptive to change.
Food is one of my favourite things and sharing food and cooking together is one of my favourite activities. I see eating as an experience, not just sustaining yourself.

I'm currently living and studying in Denmark which is an amazing experience. However, being born and raised in tropical climates all my life I am quite nervous about the looming Scandinavian winter!

PHILOSOPHY

Good or bad, experiences shape you into the person you become. For me, I think life is complete when you find the thing you would die for. And not just in a theoretical sense, it's so important to you that it is worth more than your life. That's what I'm searching for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf a little bit but my plan is to host when I finally have my own place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed through Vienna with my big brother when we were meant to go to Cairo but that was in 2010 so we had to make alternate plans. We met some great people and had a great time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once attended a political rally in a rural village in northern Bangladesh as a "guest of honour"

Teach, Learn, Share

I am extremely passionate about social psychology and I've spent a lot of time working on stereotypes and inter-group relations so that is definitely something I can teach you about if you'd like =)
In terms of learning, I love talking to people and understanding how their life has shaped them.
