I'm a Singaporean who moved to Japan in 2014 and has been here ever since.

I am a product (for web services, not industrial) designer and have an interest for everything beautiful.

I write a blog at www.alexkwa.com about places and things that interest me. You'll get an idea of who I am by giving it a read.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Making friends, enjoying different cultures and personalities. Staying for free doesn't hurt, but the life experiences and stories you take with you are truly priceless.

Interests

I am somewhat of a minimalist, but also a hypocrite at times because I am obsessed with a brand called Supreme.

I love craft beer, but also enjoy sake, wine and whiskey. I enjoy having conversations over a meal. It is something so simple, yet so profound. Being able to bond with a person to a point where your and their world view has a chance of changing always amaze me.

Learning new languages also interests me as it opens up a world new world view. I speak 3 languages now but want to learn another!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a jungle survival course in my time in the army where I survived 9 days with 2 days worth of rations and didn't shower the whole time!
