About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for a new direction in life and my next destination.

ABOUT ME

Bored of Singapore. Here in Japan.

I don't know how long I will be here nor when I will be back again. I used to travel to Japan 1-2 times a year and decided that I could. try to make it a little more permanent.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short... bla bla bla?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will just like to meet new people. Its okay even if you don't host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed before in the past but I've never hosted.

The only couchsurfing experience I had was at Fukaura in Tsugaru of Japan.

Languages, marathon, cycling, photography, shopping, playing music, KARAOKE!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a wide variety of music from Scandinavian Progressive Metal, to Japanese Enka. Additionally, I play the guitar but am currently learning the shamisen and want to one day play 津軽じょんから節 (a traditional piece of north-east Japan).

For movies, my all-time favourite is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Enough said.

For books, I brought my favourite book 神様 by 川上弘美 here to Japan. I know I could always buy it for 100+ yen at a Book Off but...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned Korean through Japanese in a few days before a week-long solo trip to Busan, Korea. I was fine ordering (cheap and great) food in places with no pictures.

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages, shamisen (I wished), anything (!?)
