My Travel Story

First of all, I want to let you know that Singapore is the furthest I've been to and I am from Penang, Malaysia. I am altruistic and love adventures but I belong to a lower middle class family. Therefore, I never had the oppurtunity to reach out far and wide. I've aways dreamt of going to new places to volunteer because I was never satisfied with the small scale volunteering I do here, then and now. Besides, I decided to study BSc Psychology to understand people more so that I can reach out more efficiently one day. My father is working hard to pay for my degree so I never discuss about my ambition to travel when I am home. But that never stopped me from believing!

I have the passion to meet new people and get to know their various cultures and hardship they are in and I also wish to highlight that to the world with a basic DSLR I have so that more people could reach out with me.

I also want to take this oppurtunity to take my parents for a vacation as they deserve it more than anyone. They have never left the country in their lives because they are always busy looking for money to fund my education and take care of the family that they don't even have the time to think about themselves or relax.
I believe this campaign will help me achieve what I once thought was impossible.
Thank you for reading!
