About Me

Having been on two trips (one around Europe with my ex and another around USofA with friends)(more intricate details of these two trips down below), I think I am ready. Ready to travel alone, and totally immerse myself with your culture and lifestyle and checking out your mojo.

I think very deeply about being in the shoes of others. Being exhausted on touristy areas and da tourists(especially from Mainland China oh my don't they have manners), I yearn to experience living like a local, which is why I am on couchsurfing. Insanely jealous of all my friends who travel and couchsurf and make lifelong friends (do penpals still exist?)

Would be my pleasure to share a pint or two, have long conversations (all for satire and banter), take photographs (with my Canon 6D) and share with you my sob-hilarious stories of travelling with my Mormon ex-girlfriend. 420-friendly! :D

1) Europe round-trip: London, Rome, Milan, Venice, Barcelona, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Paris with my ex-girlfriend
2) Road-trip with my friends around the USofA (See Borat's reference): Berkeley, a bunch of National Parks, Las Vegas, Miami, Washington DC, Niagara Falls, Boston, NYC

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually go by the motto of Scouting, as entrusted by Lord Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden Powell,"Be Prepared".

My couchsurfing experience is negligible but soon it will be filled up with my experiences with you :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) Bought 100 dollars worth of enhanced chocolate truffles and not knowing what to do with them (read: SHARE)

2) Pioneering is a skill which boy scouts learn to build wooden structures for their camps.

I believe I am the only scout to have built the largest suspended (in-the-air, no touching the ground) Campfire pit (I don't see anyone on the internet doing these?) when I was 15 years old. (Gimme a cookie?)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are interested in Chinese Language/Mandarin, I would love to impart to you some tips on it. Or immerse you with broken, colloquially-spoken English from Singapore, known as Singlish.

Let you fondle with my pocket/wallet-emptying/brand-new Canon 6D camera

Let me take more Instagram/Facebook/Tinder-worthy photos of you for you

Let me own you in Connect Four/Four in a Line/Four in a Row

Let me whistle your favourite tune

Let me share some enhanced truffles
