I'm a Life Sciences major college student studying in Singapore. I'm going on exchange this semester so I'll be travelling Europe, and I've just started up a Couchsurfing profile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I came back from my first backpacking trip about a month ago, and I realised that couch surfing is a great way to meet new people and have a culturally immersive experience while travelling.

Interests

I love sports - I play basketball in school (even though I'm pretty short) - especially water sports.
New interest: Skateboarding! (I want to go on ramps, do tricks, though I can't *yet*)

I love the outdoors - I like to be in the sun, explore nature, probably because I've lived in a city all my life

I love learning languages, I have a huge academic interest in Chinese, my Mother Tongue, but I can also speak German and French (listed in order of proficiency)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - My taste changes all the time, right now I listen a lot to Kodaline and Deep House music

Movies - Haven't watched any great movie in awhile, but I normally like action movies, Chinese Historical films. I've also recently started watching Bollywood films!

Books - His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman is my all-time favourite series. Currently reading Game of Thrones. Also recently discovered non-fiction, which I never used to read for leisure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just came back on a backpacking trip that traced the Silk Route, passing through parts of China, including Gansu and Xinjiang, Kyrgyzstan, and Northern India.
I learnt a lot about the history of Silk Route, the spread of religion (especially Buddhism) in these areas, and of course the cultures of the 3 countries. It was an amazing experience for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share about Singapore (where I come from), or the Chinese culture and language, which I have a great interest in.

I love learning about the way of life in other countries, which is why I joined Couchsurfing in the first place.
