Hi, I am George. I am from Singapore, and am a current student in New York. I live in my closet-like dorm that is being shared between a roommate, a teddy bear, and a potted turnip plant aptly named Sir Thomas the Brave and Honorable and Nigh Indestructible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning on using the summer school break to cycle to the Pacific from my dorm via the Transamerica Trail. I will travel with my mountain bike that has been with me for more than 4000 kilometers. Previously, I rode from Beijing to Lhasa on my bike.
