About Me

Hi fellow friendly Couchsurfers!

On any given day, you will usually find me knee deep in numbers or plotting /dreaming about my next travel destination on my various maps. There's nothing I like better than to go exploring off the tourist track and beating my own trail. In fact, when I travel, I usually deliberately choose cities not on everyone's radar because there's just so much more to be discovered out there.

Some of my passions and interests: cartography, reading, writing, black and white photography, backpacking, music, football, kayaking, learning languages and global affairs.

I'm fascinated by different cultures and countries, people and their different perspectives. Hoping to meet more unique and friendly individuals here on CS!

P. S. I am sorry I am unable to host at the moment as I'm not living in my own apartment. But I'll be glad to bring you around or have a coffee sometime!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet New Friends, Exchange Travel Experiences, find traveling buddies/companions would be a nice plus!

Plus I'm really passionate about learning new languages so Language and Cultural Exchange would be a great bonus!

I also like to show people round the not so well known spots in SG.

Because that's where you get the real authentic experience of traveling.
