Overview
About Me
I consider myself an active person with interests in a variety of sports. With that being said, I don't think Im insanely good in any of them; a ''Jack of all trades master of none'' I suppose. The sports which I do most often are running and Calisthenics.
I also have a geeky side, always indulging in a good book or classic sit-coms during long commutes.
I am an easy going person that can have a meaningful and engaging conversation in English and Malay(though my goal is to converse semi-fluently in French and Dutch by 2021). I do alot of stuff, so I think I have a fair bit of interesting conversation topics up my sleeves!
Presently a Student in Singapore, hoping to live and work abroad in the future!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe that a good way to be a traveler is to live and experience the culture of the country I visit without looking at it through rose-tinted glasses. Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to network with people of similar interests and at the same time get acquainted to how they live their daily lives authentically. The opportunity to live with a host and interact with them would definitely be a value-adding experiences to myself and the host.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some simple dishes from my home country of Singapore. I do running and calisthenic frequently, so I would be very happy to share some tips and tricks with beginners looking to start the sport. Also willing to be a good workout buddy.
I am currently learning new languages, so I hope to learn and converse in them with the locals. I also hope to learn simple recipes which I could bring home and share with my friends and families

Cooking classes, being a conversation companion, a helping hand in the house chores, or even a jogging buddy!
