About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The world is like a book. Those who do not travel only read one page.

ABOUT ME

I'm law student from Singapore currently studying in the UK. Europe has been such an experience for me, it's a whole new world with different ideas, beliefs, values, nature and architecture, all of which fascinate me.

I think i've come down with a badcase of wanderlust!

I love travelling, and getting to know people. Besides that I'm a huge Star Wars fan :))

PHILOSOPHY

I really believe that travelling is an education, and the more we travel, the more we understand each other and the lesser misunderstandings cultures will have thereafter. Travelling is like placing yourself in another man's shoes, and growing empathy and tolerance toward what is different.

I believe that I shouldn't just wait for this change to happen, but i should be that change. Which is why i feel that couchsurfing is such an awesome community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to be able to play host to those interested in visiting Singapore or using SIngapore as a base to visit the rest of south east asia.

I sincerely believe that travel is an education that everyone should have. And I want to do my part in educating the world about Asia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a newbie to this site! But being a pastor's kid, i've had numerous people from all parts of the world,south africans to sri lankans, spending a few days at my home.
