I'm a 22-year-old Singaporean guy who has just completed two years in the army and is commencing 3-year undergraduate studies in the UK.

I'm cheery, overly polite, with a rather dry sense of humor, and I've got a great personality to boot (or so my momma tells me)!

I love meeting new people and discovering new places/cultures. After all, life's meant to be an adventure, no?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always loved travelling, and now that I'm studying in the UK, I intend to take the opportunity to explore this side of the globe!
My belief is that travelling is more than just seeing the sights and sounds (ugh, tour groups.); it's about immersing yourself in new experiences and cultures, and making new friends along the way.
I hope to acquaint myself with people from around the world and their ways of life, and to experience my travel destinations in a way that normal tourists can't even begin to imagine.
