I'm a spoken word poet and stand up comic taking time off my full-time job to travel and perform in various countries, and looking to meet new people and sharing stories/creating new oens through couch-surfing along the way.

I'm from Singapore and based here and have also lived in rural Ohio and London for 4 years each. I teach, host and organise gigs in Singapore, write, and perform poetry and stand up comedy, and sometimes travel to other countries to perform. Somewhat introverted but I like meeting new people and having long conversations. I have lived in intentional communities in various countries and am passionate about farming, land rights and communal living.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I have had amazing experiences with couch surfing in Romania and Australia, and met couch surfers in Singapore and London.
