Not Staying Put

How did you come to be doing what you’re doing now?
I’ve always wanted to work in a bank since I started studying. After I graduated, it was quite clear—I applied to entry level banking jobs. I’ve been working in banking for four to five years, and I really enjoy what I do!

In my free time I…
Plan my upcoming holidays and edit my travel videos. I just went to Sri Lanka and it was fabulous. I think the tourism there is just so underrated; not many people go there. People should really take some time and explore that place. It wasn’t what I expected—you travel for three hours into a different climate and you have your tea plantations, the beach, and surfing and all that.

Highlights of your trip?
This necklace I’m wearing! There’re actually a lot of gem stores to buy there if you know how to look at them. I didn’t know myself, but apparently they’re really big exporters of stones.

Something interesting about me:
I know how to do a bit of judo. I learnt it in back in my secondary school days, so yeah, I can throw people! Most people also don’t realise but I’m actually quite sporty—I do a bit of yoga and tennis, I’m learning golf and fishing, and I learnt how to surf in Sri Lanka.

Most exciting trip:
I rode on the Trans Siberian railway last year; we took a train from Beijing to Moscow over six days. We got off along the stops in Mongolia, Siberia, and eventually, Moscow. It was really fun—I just really like to travel and plan these things!
