General Mission:
To understand and appreciate the multitude of people and cultures in the world

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I find that couchsurfing would be an excellent opportunity to get to understand the lives of the people in the places I'm visiting, beyond just the usual touristy stuff. Stories are always welcome- be it tidbits regarding the best food places in an area, to how it was/is like growing up in a certain region.

Books:
The Warriors by J.Glenn Gray, Murakami books and Zelda Fitzgerald's biography are currently on my reading list. I am also trying to complete reading The Little Prince in German and hopefully later in French. Otherwise though, Roald Dahl is a perpetual favourite. Tintin too.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Actually watching a cow give birth in India. For a person born and bred in the city their whole life this was actually pretty fantastic

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Well I am a Singaporean and we are known for our food so if requests are made early I'd be more than pleased to bring some special snacks over! Otherwise though I'd be glad to share any stories from Asia or Singapore in general, and give quick language lessons in Chinese.

Oh I can whip up an excellent salmon belly dish too, original recipe very much guaranteed. My caramelized onions are pretty delish too and can be made rather quickly. :-)
