I have grown from a timid backpacker to a slow paced ‘drag-packer.’ I have never failed to find time to visit off-the-beaten-track destinations a few times every year. Drag-packing has not only challenged my perceptions of life, but has also provided plentiful opportunities for me to learn new things from real, unfamiliar situations. I was invited to give public speeches occasionally on communication, people-related topics and travel experiences. I am also a Buddhist monastery and museum tour guide cum trainer for Kong Meng San Monastery, the largest in Singapore. I strive to explore and learn new insights through travelling and museums visit; in addition, I would like to share my views and experiences with you here in Couchsurfing.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Trying to meet locals when I travel. I used to 'conquer' destinations and make a checklist of places and things I had seen and heard but as I grew, sadly older, I shifted my interest in humanity-and-environment-oriented travel experiences, getting to know the locals and understand how they live. Even though I cannot host travellers in my nest but I can be an enthusiastic bird, fluttering to you and showing you many lovely places in Singapore.

Centres d'intérêt

What else?! Has to be travel, travel and more travels! I had done this and that, so I am interested in knowing people and learning from them over cuppa tea or coffees, and spread of good food. Also, I am into researching on Buddhism, its art and architecture representations that enrich my life so much these few years.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Strangely, my kind of music, movies and books change from season to season.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Hit upon an isolated ethinic village in the mountains of the Bundurban, Bangladesh, found a very ill boy and treated him with medicine I had had with me.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Sharing my knowledge of Buddhist art, architecture and philosophy to every person. Also, picking up as much knowledge from others as I can till my last breath.
