Overview
About Me
A Gemini! I have always been interested in travelling and culture, and I'm pretty lucky to have visited a number of places in Asia.
My mother-tongue is Chinese, but I'm more comfortable speaking English. I am also learning French in university, and it would be great if we could help each other with our languages.
I consider myself an easy-going, friendly person and I hope to meet like-minded people to make friends and share more about our respective hometowns. Singapore might be small, but we sure are interesting! I am also an animal lover, a free-thinker, a coffee addict, and a Marvel-enthusiast. A non-smoker, a Mac-user, a wannabe-artist.
Goal: to be an interesting person
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I hope to be able to experience places through the eyes of locals, rather than just checking off tourist attractions off a list of "must-see" items. The cultural exchange and new friends are a welcome bonus!

Music, Movies, and Books
Pretty varied, I usually give most things a try. My current playlist features a lot of Fall Out Boy and Neon Trees, and I enjoy most blockbusters. Since university started I haven't really read much books, but I'm currently plodding through Game of Thrones...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Worked in an amusement park after I graduated from junior college! While my experience wasn't all good, I'm very thankful for the chance I got to interact with people from all over the world.
Teach, Learn, Share
Singapore is not an exciting place to visit, but we have awesome food from all over the world. It's also a good place to base yourself if you're planning to travel around Southeast Asia.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I wouldn't profess to be a good conversationalist but rest assured I will make an effort! I believe in being considerate and polite, and I would definitely try to crash your couch in the most unobtrusive manner possible.
