About Me

22 year old student from the little red dot, Singapore.
I live by these words: Live. Life. Happy.

I love to meet new people and constantly looking to experience new cultures. I am excited about listening to people's life experiences as i find it very eye opening to see life and the world from another person's perspective. I have very big dreams which i could share with you if we ever have a chance to meet.

I look for fun in quiet gathering with friends, simple catching up and laughter. Board games are cool too. Alcohol is not a particular preference of mine nor do i enjoying partying with crowds and loud music.

I am passionate about sharing my experiences and knowledge with people i meet. I used to work in an aquarium doing educational tours for adults and children alike (thou mostly children). I get very excited when nature or wildlife is involved. I may not be able to host guest in my home but i can be a very good guide and tour you around Singapore when you visit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live to entertain people and being able to put a smile on your face makes me happy! I believe that the best travel experience is from the perspective of a local. Not fancy hotels with international breakfasts included. A kind point in the direction of local foods would be nice, but if you'd be willing to spend a day with me, I GUARANTEE you will be entertained! It'll be an experience for us both :)

I am not earning income at the moment but at the same time, i feel it is my prime time to travel and see the world without worrying about health or commitment issues that might arise in the future. Couchsurfing is my way of reducing my travelling expenses and meeting new people and being directly immersed in their culture.

I am unable to host as i am living with my parents and siblings in a small flat. However, I would love to be your guide when you visit my home country, Singapore, as i really love this place and would like you to experience the best of it.

Interests

Cycling, rock climbing, photography (wildlife and landscapes), architecture and green building innovations. I really love walking and exploring new places on foot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once participated in a national bartender's association competition with little to no prior bartending experience representing my polytechnic. Little did i expect to make it as 1 of 12 finalist, out of 56 participants all of which were professional bartenders by trade. (Note: I also do not take alcoholic beverages; personal preference)

I also emcee/ host for local amateur boxing tournaments.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you don't see the World, you won't know where you are.
