I have been exploring Asian countries through sports and have been to a few countries for marathons (full and half) and some adventures sports. These have brought me to a few parts of Malaysia and Japan. I am a avid photographer in the past and have been to Tibet, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia. I did my undergraduate degree in Australia and have spent 3 years there. I generally like to explore other cultures to find similarities and to understand how other people communicate with each other through their values, culture and interests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see if I can connect with more people and even help people find new things about my country and to share ideas. It will also be great if I can find people who are interested to explore the baltic states. I will be heading to Estonia to do their Tallinn marathon in 2020 and maybe their Wilderness Marathon too (hence I may do two trips in 2020). Will also be fun to explore the Trans-Siberia Railway next year or in 2021.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had an injury last year but still managed to finish a full marathon in Osaka, probably won't try to run when injured again but it was a good mental challenge.

Teach, Learn, Share

The local customs, our transportation system, the quirks of the local, our general likes and dislikes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you are looking to explore what Singaporeans (local) do on a daily basis, I will be glad to show you the neighbourhood and the quirky things that we do.
It will also be great to share the difference in your country compared to mine so that it will be a good contrast and a memorable trip for both of us.
