Hi There. I am a Singaporean but I was born and raised in Indonesia. My grandparents were from China. So I was a bit of a mix of these three power house countries of Asia.

I have visited 55 countries so far and counting. I love visiting off-the-beaten-path destination (for ex: Iran, Pakistan, Mongolia, Bolivia, etc). I am more active in the Workaway platforms. I have had 9 workaway hosts across different countries and I enjoy getting to know the culture / history / stories from the real local people, getting immersed in the foreign culture and appreciate the little things that life can offer.

I have more than 10+ years of professional workig experience in the creative industry. Recently, I quit my job and pursue the act of travelling that allows me to connect more with the stories of human kindness, the gift of natures, the beauty of different cultures, the awe-inspiring creativity, the art of slowing down, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Besides finding a place to stay from hosts across different countries, I look forward to connecting with people through stories and perspective that I can bring from Asia while learning theirs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recent one: One Workaway host flew me on his private plane from New York to Arkansas State. Just the two of us for 10 hours. I was helping to navigate the plane as well.

Last year: I was volunteering as an English teacher for novice monks in Sri Lanka. It was a very meaningful effort for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach web design, digital marketing, photography skills, cooking, languages (English, Indonesian, Chinese Mandarin).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Since I study arts and design, I can teach basic principles of web design, photography, digital marketing. I can help you generate creative marketing assets if you own a business as well. I can give you consultation on how to increase traffic on social media, and improve customer experience on your business' digital platform.

On a personal side, I can offer a cultural exchange by sharing stories from Singapore, Indonesia and China. I can also cook the dishes from these three countries as well.
