I'm Ze Guang, though if you find it hard to pronounce, you can call me Dave. I graduated with a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from Imperial College in London and Masters of Science from New York University. Born and raised in Singapore, I love travelling to see the sights around the world. Having served in the military service has broadened my perspectives and the goals I would like to achieve in life.

I've visited more than 100 countries and over 400 cities in the world. Trying my best to see more of the world every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having visited so many countries, it's a regret I did not start Couchsurfing earlier. If not I will have at least one friend from each of the country I had visited. Well, it's not too late to start now!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Here are some amazing stuff I've done:
- Visited both Galapagos Islands and Easter Islands
- I suntanned, snorkeled, skydived 14,000 feet in Hawaii and also saw lava real life.
- I hiked three hours in thick snow to see an ice cave and glaciers in Alaska that never melted over thousands of years and saw a Killer Whale (Orca) metres away from me.
- I saw the most mesmerizing Northern Lights in Iceland, Norway and Canada.
- I reached the summit of the Alps in Switzerland and skied down the best ski mountain in North America (Whistler) after learning how to ski in ten minutes.
- I flew over Niagara Falls in a helicopter.
- I self navigated and drove more than 50,000km in 15 countries
10,906km in USA (California to Washington, North Dakota, Colorado, and back to California)
7,249km in USA (San Francisco to Yellowstone and back via Los Angeles) and Hawaii
4,190km in Canada (Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, 1st trip) and Alaska (Anchorage to Denali and back)
3,461km in USA (NYC to Maine to Toronto and back)
3,383km in USA (Miami to Chicago)
3,311km in Canada (Quebec, Newfoundland, 2nd trip)
2,816km in Germany, Switzerland and Austria
2,606km in Artic Circle (Rovaniemi to Lofoten Islands and back)
2,599km in Iceland (Ring Road twice)
2,169km in Norway (Bergen to Alesund, Trondheim, Oslo, Kristiansand, and Stavanager, 1st trip)
1,517km from Zurich, Switzerland to Rome, Italy
1,381km in UK (Snowdonia)
1,157km in Norway (Bergen to Trolltunga, Kyeragbolten, and Preikenstolen, 2nd trip)
766km in Jordan (Amman to Dead Sea, Petra, Wadi Rum and back)
682km in Mexico (Cancun to Playa del Carmen and Chichen Itza)
230km in South Korea (Jeju Island and Udo Island)
152km in UK (Sheffield and Peak District)
147km in Malta

But the most crazy thing I've done is exterminate a nest of Brazilian Wandering spiders, the world's most poisonous, after finding them in a bag of bananas in London.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share about New York, London, or Singapore, English and Chinese, and my travel stories that go on forever. I'll hope to learn from you as much as I can and if I am couchsurfing with you, rest assured I was trained well in army to leave your place completely clean.
