Hello fellow couch surfers,

I'm Lester, I've just moved to the Twin Cities after graduating with a degree in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire. I'm originally from Singapore and have been fortunate to visit and meet numerous people from various places around the world; countries to visit on my immediate bucket list are: Argentina, Costa Rica, Mexico, Ireland and Austria.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly, after living in a homestay in Indonesia (which was personally one of the best trips I've ever had), I found having locals to talk to and be company with would make a trip 10 times better than it would've been.
