About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Looking to complete my around the world trip back to Singapore and so far I'm already half way there :)

ABOUT ME
Spontaneous adventurer with an inquisitive mind.
Since graduating from college, I spend my days exploring cities hoping to find buried treasure, abandoned buildings or a long forgotten book.

PHILOSOPHY
You are what you love, not who loves you.
Keeping an open mind and always looking to exchange ideas and opinions with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Accomplishing my dream of having friends everywhere in the world and experiencing what it's like to be in their shoes(apartment) for a brief night or two.

Interests

I like making conversational and sharing perspectives with people I meet around the world. Talking to people allows me a sneak peek into their world and I'm always amazed at what I find out when people are willing to share.

Otherwise, I love a good book too and as well as reading random articles online about technology, sports, history, love and life in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking up the rocky mountains and sharing a sandwich up there with friends I made on the way up.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Coming from Singapore, I grew up in a melting pot of culture and I am willing to share my Singaporean perspective , which I found out, has been vastly different from people from other parts of the world.

Additionally, I'm a marketing graduate and use to do consulting work for some firms. Hence I am willing to share my 2 cents on marketing related issues and offer marketing/advertising help if required :)
