Overview
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.
