One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a superhost on airbnb! :-) over the course of this year i have met and hosted close to twenty groups of guests from countries all over the world. but that doesn't allow me to get as close and personal as couchsurfing might let me, so I'm more inclined towards this platform now!

What I Can Share with Hosts

born and bred in singapore, so I know the ins and outs of the place, as well as the local way of life.

I've done a bit of filmmaking and photography, so I might be able to impart some knowledge on videography + photography techniques.

my intellectual interests lie in history, politics, socioeconomics and art - might have a few insights to share, will have a lot to learn.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Iran, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
