CURRENT MISSION

Hoping to bring a taste of Singapore (literally) to your home in America! You host, I cook!

ABOUT ME

I'm a piano and music instructor based in Cincinnati, Ohio but a native from the city of Singapore.

Graduate studies brought me to the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music. I hold a Masters degree in Piano Performance, and can play one mean piano. (Hosts get treated to mini private recitals if you have a piano!)

My mission is to couchsurf in as many cities throughout this great country of America and bring the joys of Singapore cuisine to homes. And that includes yours, if you'd like!

I'm friendly, gracious, considerate, grateful, open-minded and informed. What brings me a smile is seeing people enjoy the food I cook - and the music I play.

PHILOSOPHY

When I left Singapore to America, my Dad told me: "It never hurts to be kind to people. If the kindness is returned, great. If not, you've done your part to make the world a better place."

My success in life thus far has depended on the kindnesses of so many people. I "put it out there", and it has returned to me a thousandfold.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

These hands not only create music on the piano, but culinary creations in the kitchen. I love Singaporean food - and enjoy cooking for family and friends.

If you'd like to host this "couchsurfing newbie", I'd love to bring some "Singapore" into your home. And count on me to teach you a thing or two about how to cook some authentic Singaporean dishes!
