I love to travel. But to me, traveling has become something that's part of my life journey. People travel to new places to get a stamp on their passport. I travel, hoping to get a stamp of the place in my heart. If possible, I would love to leave an imprint, but that's not something I can do on my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have learnt that the best way to know a new place is by getting to know the local people. I'm not interested in the tourist attractions, although I would still visit the landmarks but I'm more interested in the day to day living in the cities and countries I visit. Hopefully, one day, I would be able to let other people experience what it is like to be living in Singapore. At the moment, I'm hoping to travel more.

Interests

Photography is one of my interest. I am not real good at it but I'm learning as I take more pictures. Reading and writing as well, I can't run too far from my teaching roots. I love interaction with teenagers. Sounds crazy but they are at the threshold between childhood innocence and the big crazy adult world. It's an interesting age.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to whatever sounds good to me. I'm not much of a movie person. I like plays, musical, live performance more. I read crime and mystery novels and indulge in the occasional trashy romance novel.

Teach, Learn, Share

You will never know the full extent of your 'self', even at the last second of your life. So, always try to learn something about yourself every day.
If there's anything that makes you unhappy, remove it from your life as soon as you can. Everyone deserves to be happy every single day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Meaningful conversations. I don't talk much, but I like to listen to different stories and keep it as part of my experience with the people I meet.
