(this profile was filled in 2016, cringe but I'll be kind to my inner young adult) ## Not a bot 👻@amphiscian🐦 🌐 🇸🇬🇲🇾🇹🇭🇰🇭🇻🇳🇱🇦🇲🇲🇵🇭🇧🇳🇲🇨🇹🇱 🌏 https://www.instagram.com/amphiscian/ ## I like to make things for people to look at, think about, or come up with ideas that influence the real world. ## I'm open about anything, really. I can sleep anywhere, there's nothing I don't eat, I would prefer to be behind the camera. ## As a kid our family had a film camera and I always wanted catalog all of the iconic landmarks in every city in the world. A little older the dream was to live in every continent. Ask me about now ;) ## Studied Mass Communication then worked in Public Relations, writing emails, releases and managing events. Conscription caught me and I was shipped into the army. Fortunately, there wasn't any violence in the office where I would plan training and safety logistics for our obese recruits: Singapore's No. 1 Slimming Centre Life went so fast after that I don't even

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
## Culture exchange: Widen my knowledge about the world and the many interesting people I haven't met. I'd like to better understand what it's like to be living and not just visiting the places. Getting to know people who have their experiences in a different environment from you brings about excitement :) ## SHOW ME HOW THE NATIVES EAT Then I'd love to hear your honest view of what life is like where you live. ## Getting out of my comfort zone: If you don't have room, it's fine. Somewhere I could maybe leave my stuff for the day would be nice :) Is that a neglected bicycle in the corner? I'd always appreciate tips on safe spots to stay the night/places I can find power (or a shower) Perhaps you could loan me some camping gear ;)
Music, Movies, and Books
## What/Why / Enjoy anything that presents an eye to a possibly alternate universe/timeline. / I like to consider the settings and situations these media present as my reality.

It's a good think that leads to unconventional ideas. ## Media that inspires/reps me: Calvin and Hobbes Rick and Morty One Punch Man Avatar (both) Daft Punk Gorillaz Black Mirror How I Met Your Mother Harry Potter (Hufflepuff here) Green Lantern's reality (DC) (Hoping it's real and a Blue Lantern or Indigo Tribe ring finds me) Community Bits and pieces of Greek Mythology ## Must see movies: Before Sunrise series (trilogy (for now)) The Darjeeling Limited + Hotel Chevalier Children of Men Celeste & Jesse Forever Cheech & Chong's Up in Smoke Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle Boyhood Drinking Buddies I Love You Man Looper The Man from Earth (2007) Mr Nobody Inception ## Books: Maybe I'll get around to being active on Goodreads ## Best live shows: Air / UMO / Jamie XX - Best Kept Secret 2016 Giraffage - Moonbeats Asia 2015 Jagwar Ma - Urbanscapes 2015 Jungle - Laneway 2015 Mew - Camp Symmetry 2013 Of Monsters & Men - Laneway 2012 alt-J / Tame Impala - Laneway 2012 Holy Fuck - Laneway 2011 Toe - Esplanade's Mosaic Festival 2010 Breakbot - all the time <3 ## Shows I regretfully failed/will fail to attend: Chet Faker - Laneway 2015 Flume - Laneway 2016 Tame Impala - Malaysia 2016 Chrome Sparks - Moonbeats Asia 2016
One Amazing Thing I've Done
## Camp Symmetry: I together with a bunch of fresh 20 year olds, organized an international music festival in Singapore. You could call it an indie, local laneway festival. ## Also: No (sham)poo since 2010 ~ Hitchhiked*5 in Singapore (unheard of) ~ Survived being in the army and also, and completely unrelated, death*2 ~
Teach, Learn, Share
## If you want: Some tips on photography. Ask me more technical stuff, you artist. Teach you how to sidewalk surf on planks with four wheels, you can borrow mine! ## Learn: Instruments (love bass anything) Languages Kitchen Alchemy Everything Our minds are boundless ## Share: My life philosophies, I wanna hear yours too! Our earth, tea, peace and love^^V
What I Can Share With Hosts
## I'll help you take a selfie, if you insist. It'll be a good looking photo ;) Or if you like I could take some pictures of your home for you to keep. People often don't think to take pictures of their home, but I think it'd be a nice memory. ## Some of the chai tea I brought with me from sunny island Singapore (imported like everything else) ## Lifehacks i've adapted into my life. ## Honest opinion. ## My resourcefulness. Looking for something? Perhaps I can find what you're looking for (maybe) ## Peace & Love, @aBaconBra Shoutout to our sponsors: 🌏🌿💨🔥💦🌞🌚
