I am a Singaporean university student, heading to Germany for exchange in March

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to interact with locals and people from different culture, and learn about their hometown from their point of view and perspectives. I'm also up for any challenges, eg, hiking and adventures! I would like to get out of my comfort zone as much as possible; having lived in a city my whole life, I treasure the opportunities to be able to venture out and experience something that I cannot experience in Singapore.

Interests

I am an entertainment writer for an independent online magazine (I focus on album/gig reviews).

I am currently working on my personal website, a lifestyle/travel blog and therefore taking this opportunity to explore Europe. You can take a look at my stuff on www.kareyst.com, where you will also find links to my photography portfolio and writings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have named places after the people who left on an ordinary day, so that I think of them every time I warm my hands on a cup of tea.

Teach, Learn, Share

My main motivation to travel comes from a realization of how tiny we are in this world and I want to see and experience it as much as possible. So I would like to share about my country and culture with you and at the same time learn about yours too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The quirky little things about Singapore, the food and culture from the different races, and of course I can teach you our very own language Singlish!
