Hi! I'm Ashton from Singapore.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing allows me to "live like the locals do"! I enjoy meeting people and and I like to hear about their life experiences. I prefer to be the listener in the conversation, but I'm more than able to contribute when needed.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a native speaker of both English and Mandarin Chinese, having been brought up in a dual-language household. I'll be delighted to be your language partner if you're interested to learn either language. I would also love to exchange travelling experiences!
