About Me

I currently work in a Swiss Bank in a typical day job trying my best to make an impact during the finite hours of my daily life that I bestow to the company - Don't get me wrong, it is what it is and I do my best to enjoy every moment of it!

Ultimately (in 2015 to be more precise), my first solo trip to Perth and a month-long training in Switzerland made me realize that I had to travel to as many parts of the world in my lifetime as I can. Which is why I have promised myself to visit at least 1 new country with a unique experience once a year bringing me back home a lot poorer monetarily but a lot richer in every other aspect of life :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the best way to experience & learn about a country's culture is through each and every resident's personal experience - What better way than to couchsurf and potentially also explore each city alongside the residents :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After a 16-hour long & painful flight from Singapore to Los Angeles, I drove out of the city (1.5 hour journey) to Lake Elsinore, got on another plane & skydived from 14,000 Feet in the air :)

Oh & I also almost got shot when I drove to Slab City (2 hours north of San Diego) :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am super patriotic and a true blue Singaporean :) So if you would like to know anything & everything about my home country (culture, economics, politics, etc), then I more than happy to share my knowledge :)

I also try my best to keep up-to-date with Global (& Home) Affairs and try to make sense of the underlying issue in a more critical yet philosophical manner... so if you are into such aspects of the world (or life in general), then we would really enjoy our engagement :)

I play the guitar too (Heavy Metal genre to be more precise :P)... so if you want a quick basic crash course on how to play the guitar, more than happy to do so (I wouldn't have a guitar on hand if I travel though)
