Hi, Dhasha here from Singapore. I am 27 and I am a teacher in a Primary School. I learnt classical Indian Dance since I was 6 and more recently started pole dancing, not so much for the exotic dance bit but more because I am attracted to the strength. (Ask me about it)

I speak English and Tamil fluently, some Chinese and I am learning German. I also know a select few phrases in Korean from watching one too many Korean dramas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Over the past one year, I began travelling solo and have found it to be incredibly exhilarating. I have WWOOFed twice now and received so much love from my hosts and the other farming volunteers. While I also stay at hostels, I find I quite like staying with locals, learning and experiencing the country and culture through their eyes. I also know that many hosts open their houses to couchsurfers so that the world can come to them when they can't travel all that often. Singapore is a melting pot of cultures and I'd be more than happy to share about Asia's culture, practices, hang-ups and anything else under the starts really.

I am willing to learn how to cook a little better from my mom so that I can bring a slice of Asia to your tums too.

I did a one and a half hour solo classical Indian dance (Bharathanatyam) recital and also completed my dance training with a diploma.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a primary school teacher, I am great with kids so if you have any, they'll probably love me :)

I can share with you about the Asian culture, some simple Indian dance moves and a good conversation over a warm meal.
