Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was very lucky to have experienced a cultural exchange school trip to Iwate Japan when I was 14. That was a home stay experience that I would never forget!

Looking forward to meeting new people :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Memorised the whole Uiro Uri (外郎売 - ういろうり).

Teach, Learn, Share

I would also love to learn about various countries first hand from the mouth of locals instead of articles online. I want to learn various languages from all over the world but that would take me some time. Anything that allows me to widen my perspective, and improve myself is greatly welcomed!

I can share with you about both Japan and Singapore, and also let you try playing the Shamisen!

I am punctual, responsible, and have also been said to be a rather funny person, so I do hope that I can bring some fun and laughter to our time spent together!
