Hi there!

I am Shao Hao, an international student studying in the United States. I come from the sunny little island of Singapore at the equator, and I am excited to travel and see the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- Meet new people, because what better way to get to know people than to stay with them! I learnt this when I stayed in a Bed and Breakfast house when travelling once, and got to know my host who was really nice, and it felt much nicer than a hotel stay.
- Learn about the places I visit and the things to do, because the locals would have better recommendations about what I should or should not do
- To share about what I do and experienced. As much as I love learning about others' experiences, I love to tell people about the things I've done, and also the little bit of wisdom that I have picked up along the 21 years of my life.

Interests

- Sports in general, I love a good game of something though I am not particularly good at many things! In particular, I like to climb, wakeboard and surf
- Outdoor adventures, day hikes are good for me (though I don't do too well in cold weather). I'm open to new ideas such as the time I did coasteering in the UK too!
- Exploring, just exploring and seeing new places. I am a sucker for pretty and breathtaking scenery, especially that of nature.
- Cooking, though I am quite the novice, I want to learn more about the food that different cultures have

• culture
• dining
• cooking
• breakfast
• traveling
• outdoor activities

• sports

Music, Movies, and Books

- Music, no specific preference, but generally not too far off from the mainstream
- Movies, The Dark Knight and Inception
- Books, not a book reader

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
