Featuring Raveena - The spontaneous soul

1. ⁠Tell us about yourself.

   My name is Raveena! I’m 25 from Malaysia. I moved to Australia in May 2024 all by myself on a whim after getting drained from my corporate job & it turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made.

2. How did you find out about ketch-Up?

   I was browsing through my feed on Facebook and ketch-Up had just posted about a dinner which caught my attention.

3. What made you join a ketch-Up meetup?

   Moving to a new country and making friends in your 20s can feel incredibly daunting and challenging. I thought attending a meetup where everyone shares similar experiences and is eager to make new connections would be the perfect way to navigate through this challenge.

4. What was one thing that stood out for you during the meetup?

   I really appreciated how effortless it was to connect with everyone. The conversations flowed naturally, and everyone was incredibly kind and genuine in getting to know one another.

5. What advice would you give to someone who is hesitant about joining a ketch-Up meetup?

   Try it once and I’m certain you’ll find yourself counting down the days til the next one! Put yourself out there and you’ll attract lots of like-minded people.

   
   

6. Lastly, tell us a fun fact about yourself. 

   I cry when I laugh!
