Update: I’m traveling now so I can’t host

Hi, I’ve been semi-nomadic for almost a decade now and love to get to know people with very different backgrounds and experiences!

I'm originally from Singapore and lived and worked in many countries growing up. I spent my childhood in Canada then studied in the UK and US. Later produced documentary videos in Thailand, China, Taiwan and Singapore. Now I am somewhat of a digital nomad, mainly shooting videos and photos for clients as well as writing.

I have a bit of a nomadic streak, I like traveling to far flung places, understanding and living with local people there. Some of the best trips I've had include places like Afghanistan, North Korea, Kyrgyzstan and Greenland. I usually spend several months in each country, living and immersing myself in the local life.

I also enjoy sharing design ideas (esp of homes), films, music and travel tales with other curious people I meet on my trips. I really enjoy playing the keyboards and guitar, and once in a while, when I meet fellow musicians, we have a great time playing together. And I am also a private chef when I’m not traveling so I’d love to exchange food and recipes with people I meet on the road. Food is such a great connector!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people, learn about local culture and give back to the community that has showed me their friendship and kindness around the world!

教，学，和分享

I'm a writer and documentary producer so writing and shooting video and photos come quite naturally to me. I've also taught English and Mandarin in elementary and high school during my travels. I also play the piano/keyboards and guitar and am happy to share all that!

I enjoy cooking and would be more than happy to cook some ethnic dishes I’ve learned at home or while on my travels.

I'm also well-versed in social and digital media and can help with digital marketing and branding work.

What I'm really keen on learning more is building homes and restoring old homes. I love to also learn more about different styles of cooking and cuisines.
