Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Traveling and learning as much as I can before I enter the working world. Broaden my perspective and open myself to different cultures.
ABOUT ME
Like all other couchsurfers, I love to see new places, but more importantly meet people from those places. I'd love to listen to your stories, I believe they will broaden my perspective of the world.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My first couchsurfing experience in Ottawa has been amazing. The host (Eugene) was great, he went out of his way to make his guests comfortable. But more importantly, it showed me how the international community can be united with the simple gesture of hosting someone or being a good guest.
To be honest, I started surfing because I'm on a student budget. I've grown to see that couchsurfing is not more than just a place to stay, but also where I can meet the locals and understand more about the place and culture. And all these I won't be able to find staying in a hostel.
Although I'm unable to host people in my home, I would love to bring you around Singapore if I am available. Singapore is all about food, I love the food in my country, and I can show you where to find good food without spending too much :)
