Hi,
I am Wen Tang and I am from Singapore. You can call me Henrik.
I am 23 this year and currently I am travelling and working in New Zealand, on a Working Holiday visa.

Before coming to NZ, I worked as a casino croupier in Singapore and it was a interesting job, meeting people from overseas and interacting with my guests. As much as I enjoyed my work as a croupier, I find it to be mundane & I spent some time thinking about my life, what I am going to do with my life? Do I want to spend my whole life working just to make end meets and just merely existing in this world?
After some time thinking, deep inside the answer is a big "NO!" I realised I have this interest to meet new people, learning new culture, exploring the world and just to be in sync with nature and the great outdoor.

So I resigned from my job after my Working Holiday visa to NZ was approved and took the next big step on my quest to explore more of the outside world. I was totally unprepared for the trip to be honest, I just trust my instinct, my guts and travelled alone to NZ in search of jobs but most importantly to see more of the world outside. I always believe in living a life, not just existing!
