About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be freeeeee

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly person. Unless you have some disturbing attitudes that I can't stand.

Quite active in sports and games. Would like to learn more on gymnastics if anyone can teach. Can be a bit crazy and random at times, depending on how well I know you. Likes nonsense. So crazy people are welcome to join me ^_^

Likes to have deep, humane and philosophical chats. Too much of it kills me, but it is good and comforting to know that someone in the world actually cares more about life, rather than just about themselves.

Oh and I think its basic courtesy to reply to requests or messages. I will do it when I am free or whenever I log in to my account. So feel free to message me.

I tend to prefer more adventurous ways of travelling, rather than just being a tourist. I believe that we can all travel to different places as long as we have the money. Just buy an air ticket and...TADA! But its rather hard to get to know a place well without spending some time over there. And I am always open to crazy and fun ideas =)

On a side note, I think that this world is so much more awesome than just the people who had hosted/surfed with me (they are awesome too, but there are more out there!). Striking up a random chat and giving a random smile to any stranger is one of the most magical thing that can happen (even with language barriers).

And I am really lazy when it comes to writing a testimonial. I try to :P

PHILOSOPHY

In the course of empowering our lives, we unknowingly inspire and enlighten others to follow suit. Live it well, for someone else!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to meet more friends from all around the world. If you want to know more about good eating places and travelling around Singapore, I can provide you with the information. It is actually very easy and convenient to travel here. If I am free, I can also bring you around Singapore and tell you more about the local trend and culture.

Would really like to go to South America (Argentina and Chile especially). If anyone is interested in looking for a travelmate, please hit me up!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think things that we have not done before are amazing. But once we have done it, it wouldn't looked as amazing on hindsight.

But regardlessly, here are some of things that people might take it as being amazing:
- skydiving near Lake Taupo(I think this is a must-try)
- surfing at Raglan
- caving at Waitomo (almost drowned coz of the heavy rain, but nevertheless, what is fun without the death factor?)
- para-sailing in Penang
- hiking and watching the sunset at Mt Tongariro (beautiful place!)

Teach, Learn, Share

Can share cooking/baking pointers with like minded people. I love to eat =)

Likes to learn about almost everything. Aim is be a jack of all trades and master of some :P
