Hey! Have been described as an outdoorsy hermit and I suppose that's about right.

Always up for an adventure and love learning from others. I love some good ol' cultural exchange. From the island of Singapore (and part Malaysian).

‼️ NOT interested in dating/hookups

Have been backpacking for a while and realized the highlights of every trip are not the tourist attractions but the people we meet along the way, and the genuine connections and interactions with others (Also beautiful natural landscapes, and type 1, 2 and 3 fun) :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Here to meet and learn from people and hear your stories :)

Interests

I love trying new stuff even though I may not be great at it! As a result I have a wide range of interests...

🥾 Hiked plenty of random trails (I'm slow tho)
🧗‍♂Beginner at rock climbing
🤿 Tried diving (not for me for now, but always up to try again next time) but realized I prefer land and air activities
🪂 Aiming to get a paragliding certification one day
🎨 I illustrate a bit of fun stuff and sell my own merch on the side. Trying to pick up tattooing as a hobby

and books like Border Hacker, mystery/detective novels (used to like Keigo Higashino)

Music: Alt/Indie Rock (Sir Sly, Arctic Monkeys, Cage The Elephant, Alt J, P!ATD, The NBHD, MCR, 21 pilots... bit basic but oop) Classics like Guns and Roses, Green Day, Queen, Linkedin Park, Red hot chili peppers etc etc too

Currently getting into reggaeton and more indie/rock bands but in Spanish

Used to be into manga too ✨

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Bit of hitchhiking, wild camping, trekking, and staying with local families. Also diarrhea.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything and everything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversations (hopefully) and perhaps I could draw for you :D

Also worked at an animal behavioural rehab centre for a while and trained animals with science based techniques (DSCC, positive reinforcement) so perhaps I could share whatever I've learnt hajahah
