About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and learn more about other cultures! To see the world as well.

ABOUT ME

I am currently 22 years old. Recently a student graduate in Singapore, working in the army now.

Hoping to travel to new places and learn more about the world!

Might also be the youngest Singaporean to ever stepped foot into North Korea at 20 years old. 🤔 I'm still wondering about that until today.

I speak 7 languages as of now. 4 really fluently, the other 3 are alright to have conversations but I wouldn't say I'm still at a level where I would call it my mother tongue of sorts. But every single day is a new day to learn more! Hoping I'll get to a polyglot level someday 🤣

PHILOSOPHY

Try new things. See the world. Meet new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to experience the culture of people from other countries! Or host fellow travellers as well! But for hosting wise, only when I am free from studying and working. Still it'll be fun to host others. :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting North Korea :D

Cycled from the North of South Korea to the South. Seoul to Busan :D Really awesome ride.

Hiked Mount Hallasan and Mount Fuji!

BIG MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL IN THAILAND, IT WAS SO FUN!

Recently came back cycling and traveling almost half of Japan from Nagasaki to Tokyo! Spent 83 days in Japan homeless sleeping in parks (Was really fun thou), Couchsurfing once and staying with locals and that was one hell of a fun time!

I don't believe that there is only one amazing thing that I've done when traveling, so I'll write the amazing things I've done in different countries.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH
I can teach you how the Singaporean lifestyle is like, the language and slang used in Singapore.

LEARN
I hope to learn from your culture as well if it's possible as well as you as a person! :) I hope to learn about the places your country has to offer as well as the the language that is spoken there!
I studied 2 years in a Japanese language school!

SHARE
