I'm a student from Singapore, and I'm currently studying Computer Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I'm pretty chill, and would love to just hang out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend had a great time couchsurfing around the United States, and I thought it would be a fun thing to do while travelling. I'll get to meet people and learn more about the culture and places than if I were to stay at a hostel/hotel.

Interests

Computers, reading, music, ultimate frisbee, video games, board games, soccer

I love to read, and like a wide variety of genres. Though I have less time for reading now, sitting on the couch with a book is still a favourite activity of mine.

Ultimate frisbee has been a passion of mine for quite a few years now, and I love to play, whether in competitive matches or recreational pick-up games. I am also currently on the Illinois Men's Ultimate Frisbee team.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My culture and experiences. Singapore is a mix of traditional Asian values and Western influences, resulting in something unique. While I may be rather young, I've had my fair share of travelling. Studying overseas in the United States has also resulted in many exciting experiences.

Of course, I would also love to share some food and beer!
