ABOUT ME
designer by training, photographer by profession.
I've a great passion for food and culture, hence I try to drive my work towards that area often.
I've an insatiable appetite to experiencing something new. My wanderlust brings me around in search of fresh and exciting encounters.
I love the nature and for some reason I like the sound of running water. I enjoy climbing mountains and surfing beaches as much as I enjoy meeting people and trying new things. I'd usually prefer hanging out in a smaller group than a big one.
PHILOSOPHY
"Ichigo Ichie" - "never again," or "one chance in a lifetime."
It's a Japanese four-character idiom that describes a cultural concept of treasuring meetings with people. The term reminds people to cherish any gathering that they may take part in, citing the fact that many meetings in life are not repeated.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
If u're coming to Singapore or stopping by, I'd be happy to show you around town and find those little nooks and holes in the walls, for those who prefer the road less travelled. If i'm able, u can stay at my place or swing by my place for a special meal by me!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
even before I joined CS, i've surfed and hosted ppl before. the experiences have been most rewarding

Teach, Learn, Share
I can bring u to the best places to eat in Singapore. I can cook you a meal. I can teach photography. I can bring you around my homeland and its little nooks, crannies and colourful back alleys and the hidden bars and cafes and tell you the stories I grew up with.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I've cooked for a few of my hosts before. One most memorial one was in Cologne, Germany. I cooked a meal with my hosts under the stars on a portable stove beside a caravan. There was a bonfire and my friend played the guitar.
