About Me

Ok if people ask me to describe myself with one word, I can only say that i'm really lazy. The problem with being lazy though, is that I also want to do everything; it's pretty much like being too tired to fight with yourself to not do nothing.

I still don't know how to get verified good heavens.

Like goodness me even typing is hard, but you would not believe the stories of my life I could tell you;

Like the time I..
was in the army
jumped out of aeroplanes and helicopters
almost fell off a cliff in Taiwan
actually fell off a rock face in Thailand
Fell into a river in Taiwan
Fell out of a helicopter
Got chased by cows in Taiwan
Got chased by geese in Taiwan
Got chased by dogs in Thailand
Got chased through a cemetery by a 4WD
Got lost almost everywhere

My theory is that usually i'm doing something then I forget that i'm doing that something and get too tired to continue and end up falling alot.

I'm an ex-gymnast, fencer, musician, ex-rugger, economist, artist, writer and something something something.

My 'About Me' used to be a lot funnier, but now i'm just jaded because of Uni.
(I'm kidding, no i'm still really funny, I swear. Please)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a big fan of honesty: I'm a student, i'm broke, guys. Broke. But circumstances beyond my control require me to travel occasionally for purposes hitherto unknown to me.

I actually couch-surfed the first time I went to Europe right after I left the army, and had a really great experience with the people I stayed with.

I really admire the friendliness of people on CS but why don't I host?

I live with my parents (I stay in Singapore we have the third highest population density in the world 7,987.52 ppl/square km, ONE YEAR'S RENT can buy a small apartment somewhere else, and as noted above, i'm broke. I love my parents, you can't shame me and my cultivated helpless dependance on a higher power)

But having said that, I also have a sister at home, so it's four of us in a standard house, and it's a traditional Chinese family guys; I can't even sneeze without asking for permission twice, and at the same time making sure I face the north wind so I don't mess up the house's Feng Shui.

Congratulations for reading up to this point. For the TL;DR I can't host you because i'm more dependant on other people supporting me (my parents) than a dog with 2 legs. If you can however quote me in the passage above in your intro, i'll do my best to bring you around this Sunny red dot when you come around. Yeah i'm actually not really that lazy, just really long-winded

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumping out of a plane? Airborne all the way! I once had to survive outside in a jungle while a typhoon blew around me

(I got too lazy to update at this point)

Teach, Learn, Share

Idk what this means

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm fun, engaging, bubbly (according to me) and even if I'm only 20, been round the world twice talked to everyone once (just kidding I'm not a froggy); but I've seen and done so many things, and been through so many "situations" that I'd love to share about with other people. Most importantly, I clean up after myself 😁👌

(NOT BUBBLY ANYMORE, but humorously acerbic bordering on the cynical, but too much candy will rot your soul anyway right - quote quote quote come on who sang this guys)
