Student at Yale-NUS College in Singapore. Born and raised! Enjoy reading and writing poetry, listening to words, playing music, listening to stories and telling them. Working on a Math and Computer Science degree at Yale-NUS, a liberal arts college in Singapore. Read literature and philosophy courses. Worked on a long-term sustainable transport project for Georgia. Love bars, live music, playing music, clubs, (and having a good time) and food.

Will be in Yale, New Haven, Connecticut in June 2018, and after I am spending some time in New York, then Cuba, then Boston.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet kindred spirits - I'm particularly interested in live music places, theatre, coding, poetry, the art scene, local music scene, best places to eat food, and unique, non-touristy life experiences.

To immerse others in the same experience. I live in a great neighborhood, near the city center, good for bars, drinks and dance clubs. Hoping to find like-minded people to do the same!

To experience a slice of the culture that you can only see from the eyes of a local. To find something that can't be found on any travel website or brochure.

Also, a place to stay is normally good!
