About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover new cultures, and discover more about myself at the same time!

ABOUT ME

I'm sociable and enjoy meeting new people. I'm terrible at remembering names though, so do be patient with me!

I love making human connections when traveling, whether it's with a fellow traveler, or with service staff at each city's locally-flavored restaurants/bars. The most random unexpected conversations are the best!

I have quite an interesting occupation, and I do appreciate the opportunities that have come my way thanks to the nature of my job. If you would like to find out more, feel free to connect with me for a chat! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I personally like exploring corners of the city that aren't just for tourists, that's why I'm here... To offer you that different angle.

I know it's tough finding your way around (what to see/eat/do) a foreign country without help... So I'm here to help make your trip enjoyable and hassle-free!

I enjoy connecting with people when I travel, and I hope to meet like-minded people too, whether in Singapore or abroad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo trip! Did my first in Jan 2015, loved it so much, I went for another round in July 2016, November 2017 and July 2018. Never thought I had the guts to do it, could get scary and lonely at times, but the payoff is amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have nothing to teach, lots to learn and a culture to share. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Would love to share about Singapore, the culture and the different flavours we have here. I can try cooking for you too, if I'm able to find the right ingredients! Wouldn't dare say I'm good at it, but it's edible. :p
