ABOUT ME
Used to be teaching Geography in a senior high school but am now doing some admin work in an office.

Singapore's pace of life is fast.. time flies by quick and you hardly ever get to pause and reflect. Sitting in a cafe, drinking tea can be such a luxury at times. And when you travel you get a brief respite from the hustle and buslte of life here. You get to find out more from yourself when you particate in CS.I'm easy going by nature, and pretty 'tame' by many standards - I neither drink nor smoke. Haha, you've gotta meet me to know me better.When I couchsurf I don't aim to visit all the must-see tourist spots in a particular place. What I appreciate more would be interacting with the locals, to learn more about the culture and historical setting of another place. Also the opportunity to forge new-found friendships across the world. So if you're a prospective host or surfer reading my profile and what I just said resonates with what you hold dear to you, why not drop me a message?And I like to go places off the beaten (touristy) track!

PHILOSOPHY

do unto others what you want others to do unto you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Is surfing considered? Haha, I've always wanted to host but I stay in a small house with 5 siblings and so that's not feasible. But I've brought some folks around singapore and explore the country together via CS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being at inches away from lava at Kilauea. Boy do I miss hawaii

Teach, Learn, Share

My first experience couchsurfing in Japan was phenomenal. It was an amazing journey getting to know new people, learning about each other's backgrounds and cultures. It is heartwarming to know that there are many wonderful people in this world willing to share their knowledge and experience with one another.
