Linguistics undergraduate student born and raised in Singapore, saving up to travel more :)
I'd totally host other couchsurfers but can unfortunately only host women around my age since I live with my family. I love bringing people around Singapore and will be more than happy to dish out recommendations or share about culture/history of the places you intend to go to
