Overview
About Me
A student at Yale-NUS College, Singapore (small city-state in South East Asia) who's always looking for a different kind of travel experience. I've lived in Japan and Singapore for most of my life, and speak 5 languages as a result of my travels and studies. I'm 22, did 2 years in the military, and travelled around the world a lot as a kid. Hit me up if you want to hear more!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm looking to meet new people who I can learn a thing or two from, and share a place with while I'm overseas. Hopefully when I'm older and have a place of my own I can return the favour.
Interests
Music (EDM, house, lounge, instrumental...), sports (basketball, badminton, rock climbing, gymnastics, etc), and doing DIY projects like designing and creating my own furniture/aesthetic ornaments. Basically I'm interested in a bit of everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts
All my experiences in a country and culture probably very different from my host's own culture. There's also a lot of cool things I've done in the past - from hosting events to serving 2 years in the military as a marksman commander to learning many languages, and the list continues.
