CURRENT MISSION

Write. Live. See the world!

ABOUT ME

Would like to see what's "out there" in the world. I enjoy having a good conversation and meeting people from different backgrounds, countries, and cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover," says Mark Twain. Precisely what I plan to do before 40.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I regularly join Couchsurfing gatherings and events in Singapore, and have established some good friendships with people from all over the world as a result. I also enjoy showing travelers around Singapore whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with a retired teacher from the UK in Kuala Lumpur. He had all the stories, and it was fun just to chill and talk in his flat.
