Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For the first time in 2013, I couchsurfed with my backpacking group in Europe (my friend's account), and was delighted to meet such lovely and awesome people! Couchsurfing made the whole trip a much richer experience for all of us. It was amazing learning about different people and different cultures, and I decided that I would couchsurf whenever I could because of the whole new level it takes you into the local culture. It is so very different from being a tourist.

Since then, I've been trying to couchsurf whenever it's possible, not because it's free but because of the amazing people that you meet 99% of the time!

Interests

Hitchhiking, Stargazing, playing tennis, guitar, badminton, fishing, soaking in nature, and, as a Singaporean I have to say... eating lots of food!

I'm very interested in anything that's a part of your culture, really! Tell me more about your country's history, political structure, climate, and way of life!
