About Me

CURRENT MISSION

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.

ABOUT ME

Hey hey, currently a student, studying at the National University of Singapore and am doing a semester abroad in Ulm, Germany.

Coming from the concrete jungle of Singapore, cities don't really appeal to me, well, you always want the things you don't have yeah? So yeah, nature, forest, mountain, beaches, small towns, these are what I'm after! :D

Really just want to surf as much and meet people from all over and make long lasting friendships! Just love meeting someone new and learning something new of a place, culture and tradition everyday! (The more local it is, even better!) Not really into the touristic stuff, well give and take! Hah! Will love to see how each city/town is unique in its own way, I really love all the markets and nature and stuff, like i mentioned, the more local it is the better! :D Just have this willingness to try anything and everything!

Current Aim:
Ich möchte mein Deutsch verbessern!
To drink all the different types of alcohol that the world has to offer!
Ultra Europe 2014! :D

PHILOSOPHY

Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Don't follow the path, but instead make your own trail

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed for the first time back in 2012. Really enjoyed the experience and would wish to only travel by couchsurfing :D I believe couchsurfing is the best way to travel and experience things. It has really changed my way of travelling. Getting to know more about a country and the lives of the people, CS is just the way to go yo!

Interests

European history and culture, photography, cooking and travelling!
Best if i could learn to cook some local dishes, and i can teach you some as well! But, i highly doubt thats possible as asian produce are really really expensive in Europe ahahah. But if you are willing to try all these, come to South East Asia (Singapore) and i'll be glad to show you around! So yeah, really interested to visit all the local markets, flea markets and anything! Trying all the local stuff! D: Meeting spontaneous and outgoing people!
