About Me

CURRENT MISSION

An ordinary person with an ordinary life seeking for some extraordinary in this unordinary world.

The wonderful experiences I had using couchsurfing when I am overseas, makes me feel that I should be more active back in my own country Singapore. By helping , meeting , guiding, meeting and sharing experiences with travelers coming to my beloved birthplace.

Then I realise, despite being here in Singapore for almost three decades, I actually do not know my country quite well yet, which is kinda sad.
So I hope that by helping fellow CSers traveling to Singapore to learn about this country, I can in turn also get to know this place a little better =)

So hit me up if you are ever coming to Singapore. I will help whatever I can.
Cheers!
