Somos Lester y Charmaine de Singapur. Planeamos viajar durante 2 años o hasta que estemos en quiebra. Es nuestra primera vez en América Latina y estamos aprendiendo español lo más rápido que podemos. Normalmente somos bastante cómicos cuando hablamos en inglés o mandarín pero no podemos hacer lo mismo en español, simplemente aprendimos a contar del 1 al 20. Queremos aprender más palabras tuyas y también sobre tu país.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing to us, is one of the best ways to travel. We get to see the place better through the eyes of the local. Make a new friend. Have a meaningful exchange. And we hope that whenever you speak of our country, you'd be happy to have us as your Singaporean friend.

Interests

Our life and work revolves very much around art, design and film making. It’s always nice to be able to meet creatives from different parts of the world and to learn from one another.

• design
• art
• food
• video
• film

Music, Movies, and Books

Books and movies that shaped our direction in life and travels: Last Lecture, Tuesdays with Morrie, Red Paperclip, I Sold My Life on eBay, Into the wild, When Breath Becomes Air, Avatar, The Green Book, Forrest Gump, Harry Potter.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can share a lot about our home country Singapore and we can share a thing or two about art, design and film making.
