About Me

Currently doing an exchange study in Oslo and am hyped about exploring europe during this season! Love meeting new people, getting to know the different cultures and worldviews, fancy new adventures and exploring cities.

I enjoy sports tremendously although of late im getting out of shape due to an injury. I love cycling especially mountain biking, do some road when training for triathlons, did boxing for a couple of months and do some part time coaching at a local swimming pool back at home. Use to play table tennis competitvely as well in middle school. But any sport im game:)

Theres an inner artsy side somewhere as well. Did acappella for awhile and use to spend a ton of time memorising ''songs'' on the piano and guitar.

Basically I relish new experiences; to me their adventures in their own rights and I'm looking forward to making new ones here:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Places tell a story but its the people that make these stories. Every person represent decades of perspectives, wisdom and experiences and I would love to hear, share and experience them. Always ready for a new adventure!

None really, any good one is fine

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Conscription is compulsory in my small city state but the 2 years serving in the army have been eye opening. One of them would definitely be rapelling off a super puma helicopter

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything and everything I know I would love to share! Be in common interests, world affairs, cultures, language. Love a good conversation and knowing more about the country, people and the story behind the places. Love a good party and some chill time as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I find cultures, politics and current affairs fascinating and I can share an asian perspective on world views. I enjoy reading up on a wide range of topics from physiology and nutrition to watches and chinese history. Im studying commodity Trading and Shipping and would be pleased to share what I know
