About Me

I am a university student from Singapore and my dream has always been to travel around the world and interact with the locals. To me, the best way has always been to interact with the locals in their local language, the multitude of idioms and lingo is just amazing. Currently, I am learning French and Spanish, and I hope to be able to learn more in the future. Hobby wise, cooking has always been my favourite, after all, who doesn't like food? ;)

My philosophy in life: Live everyday as if it is your last!

I am currently living in school hostel and thus unfortunately, unable to provide a couch, it will only be available during the school holiday periods of May - July and December if I am in Singapore.
Update: Currently overseas in Europe for backpacking trip (1 June - 5 August 2016)

Although I am usually unable to provide a couch, I would love to bring people around Singapore! Drop me a message if you would like a guide or some tips on where are the hidden gems of Singapore :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Coming from Singapore, a multicultural country, I had been constantly reminded about how amazing culture can be. Each person in the world has a different story; I hope to spend time with all of you and learn about these amazing stories and experience the culture first-hand!

Interests

Foodhunt
It is so much fun to go around different parts of the world for their unique cuisine (even if it is the same name, it is so different!) And well, food brings people together

Sightseeing
I really love the natural beauty of the world, from the majestic mountains to the vast ocean. The world has so many beauty for us to discover

Gaming
I game... A lot... Sometimes too much for my own good... But hey, I met so many amazing friends online and it also pushed me to looking at CS as a way to meet more people too. Even though talking to people online can be fun and awesome, but it will never surpass face-to-face interactions.

Board games are my favourite too! You don't know someone until you have experienced the backstabbing in games ;)
