About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making a better ME, which will make a better WORLD

ABOUT ME

I have been afflicted be Travellitis as long as I can remember. I never really felt at home in Singapore and in 1997, I handed myself over to another little island of Hong Kong in a historical fashion.
I was in Chile for 3 months in 1991 ( 20years ago!) and having been longing to cross the Pacific to re-visit the Americas again. Also to practise my rusty Espanol.
For the past 3 years, I was in Beijing pursuing a Masters in Acupuncture. Now before settling down to a job and doing what society expects of a grown
( groan...)man. I plan to travel to US and Mexico this spring.

PHILOSOPHY

I came into this world with nothing and when I hope not to leave any clutter behind..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to think of myself of a Giver rather than a Taker in the scheme of things. But I am so fortunate to meet really nice people in my life and I ended up being a beneficiary of their generosity!

Teach, Learn, Share
