I am Amos Lee, a year 3 undergraduate at Singapore Management University (SMU), School of Social Sciences. I am doing a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in Political Science and Sociology.

Since young, I have always been interested in local and international socio-political issues, and have been volunteering at grassroots events near my neighbourhood. I intend to pursue a Masters in Security Studies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would be going on Overseas Exchange to Ireland from January to June 2016!

While studying there, I would be travelling to various parts of Europe. I would stay between 3-4 days at each location that I would be visiting.

I would love to meet new people from different countries and learn a bit more about different societies and cultures.

Places I would visit include (but not exhaustive): Budapest, Prague, Warsaw, Krakow, Rome, Venice, Berlin, Zagreb.

Interests

1) I love to read, and a wide variety. I read science-fiction novels to crime and mystery novels. I also read many non-fiction books, including books on Politics, Political Theory and World History.

2) I love to play soccer!

3) I do play computer games (Dota 2) and EU4 and City: Skylines once in a while.
