Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting to personally know people of diverse backgrounds from different cultures in the quickest way possible. Spending quality time to get to know my hosts and guests personally and hopefully lasting friendships follow from there :D

Interests

I talk very much, or so I am told. On the flip side, I am also one who enjoys personal time when I get to roam the streets and just watch the people around me going about their daily bustle. That means I am pretty much ok whether or not you have time to bring me around, but I hope very much that we could at least spend fruitful time in getting to know each other.. :)

I love to walk.. Just being on my feet, going to places that I haven't seen and do not particularly know what is in store for me. Be it trekking into the wilderness, or just appreciating how locals behave from a distance, I am definitely in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Disappearing off the grid into deep woods for nearly two weeks, taking in what nature has to offer :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to get exposed to the many tongues of the world. Would also like to share my experiences living in Singapore with my hosts and surfers alike.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My uniquely Singaporean experiences, my mouth that never stops talking, stories from when I was enlisted in the Army, spoken words that ranges from retarded jokes to intellectual debates (whichever you like), and a listening ear to YOUR exciting stories/tales/legends/whines/mopes
