About Me

I love to learn new things, to talk, to argue, and to Travel!

Currently an Economics student at the National University of Singapore, who just took 6 months off school to intern at a start-up, in the far-away land of Israel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The cliche: Meet people!
To gain a feel of the local way of life, learn more about local customs and cultures (Don't gift Chinese clocks) , and hear interesting stories from all around the world.

Interests

Talking nonsense and looking at amazing scenery not found in Singapore.
Arguing about everything under the Sun.
Learning new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Couchsurfed in Israel using the low-tech way -- By knocking on people's doors.

Teach, Learn, Share

Skills that could pass off as being impressive:
- Juggle 3 balls for 5 seconds before dropping everything
- Basic Beatbox
- Chinese chess
- Volleyball, table-tennis (Asian power)
- Play the harmonica
- Drive an Armoured Personnel Carrier (Like a tank, but not a tank)

Things I know/did that could pass off as being impressive
