Hello to the travellers and adventurers out there! Welcome to exploring Singapore, a beautiful green, clean and most importantly incredibly safe city! My name is Alex and I started couchsurfing years back when I was in the army and rehabing from a shoulder surgery. Being unable to travel back then, I thought of why not bring the world to me instead. Thus I opened up my place, giving me the opportunity to meet you amazing souls from across the globe :). The experiences that I had here has nonetheless been truly rewarding, making so many new friends from around the world and I am really happy to be able to provide couchsurfers who have cross my path a memorable time here in Singapore!

About myself, I believe my life mission is to make a positive impact in the world and I hope that someday when I Ieave this planet, it will be a better place than when I first arrived. I frequently share my passionate takes and adventures on my social media account so you can follow me there at @alexhalfamazing (Instagram). And do take note I usually only respond to stay requests and not messages. If you want to ask me inquires about Singapore or any other private matter, do so on Instagram's direct message :).

Coming to my lifestyle, I am all in for growth, advocating for animals, exploring consciousness and outdoor sports. I think it's remarkable how little we know and how much more is left for us to discover in this vast world. I want to experience the world, seek and share knowledge, see amazing things that will leave me in awe, and meet beautiful people of different culture/lifestyle. I truly believe the journey of learning will never cease to end and my goal at the end of everyday is to be soul-fulfilled. I will live my life spreading awareness and fighting for animal rights as well. I planned on volunteering at animal rescue centre and doing activism work in the not too distant future. In the end we all will become stories and my life will be a tale to be remembered for.

At this point of my life, I am truly grateful to be awake and conscious of how I want my life to be. I am blessed and humbled by every life lessons and experience offered by the universe that shapes me to who I am today. Looking for purpose on earth isn't easy but I am glad I found it.
Spirituality (non religious) is my way of life and I am leading a vegan diet for the animals.

Here are some of my favourite life quotes I wish to share:

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience. - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

There is no fundamental difference between man and animals in their ability to feel pleasure and pain, happiness, and misery. -Charles Darwin

They don’t teach you this in school. They don’t show you the beauty of existing, they don’t show you the wonder of the earth, they don’t show you the unity that human beings are. They show you who’s better, who’s worse. They show you what they need to show you in order for their system to survive. They don’t show you love. - Galileo Galilei

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty. - Thomas Jefferson

You only live once. Don't waste it. Someday, you'll tell your children and grandchildren about it. Best life is rare to find. Make it happen.
Everything is impossible until someone did it.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. - Helen Keller

We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love ... and then we return home.

You’re a ghost driving a meat coated skeleton made from stardust. What do you have to be afraid of?

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, 
None but ourselves can free our minds. - Bob Marley

If you have to choose between being kind or being right, choose being kind and you will always be right.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because you are not on their road doesn't mean you're lost - Dalai Lama

Life is like a piano; the white keys represent happiness and the black show sadness. But as you go through life's journey, remember that the black keys also create music. - Ehssan

The key to success is to keep growing in all areas of life - mental, emotional, spiritual, as well as physical. - Julius Erving

Eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know everything happens for a reason.

忍一时， 风平浪静，退一步，海阔天空

Solitude is the soul’s holiday, an opportunity to stop doing for others and to surprise and delight ourselves instead. In solitude, we discover what makes us feel alive. - Katrina Kenison

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness - Eckhart Tolle

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing acts as a bridge between me and the world as it allows me to meet new people from across the globe and a chance to find like-minded souls, form new friendships, learn, share and make great memories together. And in addition provide a comfortable shelter for my new friends. I believe true generosity is giving without expectation, with no need to be repaid in any form. This is the most powerful act of generosity, as it is unconditional, unattached, and free to land wherever it will. Cheers to you amazing people that I will meet and have fun with down the road! Give me a #MayTheForceBeWithYou at the end of your request so that I know you read this. Cheers :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not one but some:

Successfully climbed to the summit of the most active volcano in Indonesia (Mount Merapi). It was an menacing trek up one of most active volcanoes in world. I was left speech upon reaching the peak of the mountain witnessing the magnificent view all around(glorious sunrise, surreal clouds and landscape beneath me, the dark abyss of the crater, the friends made during the hike). Just splendid moment in late 2015! And bonus; I got to witness shooting star while gazing at the stunning starscape during the hike.

Done the highest Bungee Jumping in Thailand in early 2015. I truly believe a little risk is required to experience some of the most amazing feeling and things in life!

Switched to a vegetarian diet and eventually a vegan after seeing some footage of animal slaughtering that awaken my inner mercy in the year 2014. I took a vow and will live by this principle till the end of time. I am currently 5 years plant-based and athleticly strong! I am really proud of my will and determination :).

Done 5 Blood Donations before the age of 21. Was awarded a medal from the Singapore National Bloodbank for it. I also received my 2nd medal after 10th donations at the age of 25.

I had my first ever solo trip in 2015. It was probably had the most fun and adventurous time I ever had solo travelling to Bali. I had an enchanting experience raving at one the grandest concert ever; Ultra Music Festival with my favourite DJ Alesso spinning. Solo trip can be one heck of a self and life altering experience and I would recommend anybody who haven't done so to try it. Magic is just right outside your comfort zone.

Had a shoulder surgery to fix continuous dislocation on my 22th birthday, as a gift to myself in order to continue my outdoor adventures and sports without a shoulder brace. The recovery process was especially gruelling, couldn't sleep flat, dominant hand was practically useless, 2 hours of painful rehab everyday. I eventually overcame 6 weeks of being sling and 2 months of daily rehabilitation from frozen shoulder to be able to play basketball again. Went on to win 2 trophies and a MVP medal in competitive basketball 6 months later and also recieved Best Soldier Award while serving army. Total of 5 trophies and championship awarded by mid year. It's a comeback story I had from 2016-2017, a story I would always remind myself when I got rock bottom in life.

I was invited to give speech twice at International Nature Loving Association in 2018, sharing veganism journey back in school, internship, army and my work life. Total of 4 hours speaking, inspired over 20 people to try on a vegan diet for the animals and the environment after the speech. My father is now a vegetarian after 4 years of my influence, and many of my friends have also went on try going vegan at some point of their lives.

Took the bold route of entrepreneurship and started working on my functional health clothing business in late 2017, a career where now I am continously creating values in people's lives, helping them to gain health and also guiding my team to become the greatest version of whatever we could be. It will continue to grow till every household in Singapore owns a set of my functional clothing.
