About Me

Hi there fellow or future friend,

I am studying in the Netherlands, along the line of City planning. I really don't like to write about myself cos having too many "I" in this text make me squeamish. A German friend tells me that she finds it funny that I enjoy drinking German beer while eating Pickles. Personally, I enjoy reading but has to find time to read more. I like philosophy, technology and law-related fictional books. In my free time, I like to explore nature, be it lake, green areas and also just take a walk. I also like to travel but I usually don't have a clear plan about that. Mostly the city is my destination and it depends what I will find there. I definitely do not have a list if attractions to tick off. But I have heard bits and pieces about the cities and would want to visit it to get to know better.

The coolest thing I did this year was probably hitchhiking from Groningen to Köln. My buddy and I was doing great until we were dropped off in Duisburg where everyone was living just 100-200m away. We were stranded there for 5 hours. But luckily a person from our student association happen to be on her way to join us on the weekend so we got our last ride. Wheww, and will I do that all again. May be? But had to choose a much better plan.

I am currently living in a container so if you are interested, you can come by and have a look. So far, it's fine only difficult to move furniture up the stairs and if you don't mind the noise of the highway, my Studio is pretty nice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On one hand, I want to explore the world but on the other hand I don't want to come home with no money left on my account. Also, it will be a plus to meet fellow travel enthusiast (host). CS is like Airbnb just in a more pocket-friendly version I guess. Also, I didn't have much time to do research about all the cities and it would be a plus know the city first hand.

Music, Movies, and Books

Metal. The Beatles. David Bowie.

Number of the Beast.

Catch-22. If I were stranded on an Island, it will be my companion.

I want to retire as a writer (Because I know I might not earn much if I started off my career as a writer)

Time management is not my forte. So I am usu late. Unless I try to bluff myself and have a second or third or forth plan in case I take too long. Then I will be on time.

I am really bad at telling lies. I guess I am not creative enough to spin tales. So when have to lie, I will consult pp around me for a believable story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I turned 21, aft saving up from working like crazy while waiting for my A lev result, I went on a solo backpacking trip for 5 weeks to Europe from SG and kept it a secret from my parents till today. They still have no clue.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Thai. I know that Thailand is the top destination for tourist so I hope it would equip you with your next visit to Thailand. And Sing-lish. And I can cook quite decent. But only sometimes.

I have a dream to visit South America and visit Argentina and Brazil.

Also, I want to climb Mont Blanc as well as other of the world Highes peak over 8000m.
Definitely I want to visit the Antartica and the Arctic. I hope I can survive in the cold.

I have decided to study State planning, Urbanistic and Architecture. After dropping out from a business degree cos It bores me so much.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook pretty ok. I cook often for my friends and they are still alive.
