(Actually 27, in the military at the moment so Im taking a short break from CS. Feel free to message me though, might just be able to cook something up.) I'm half Chinese, a quarter Indian and another quarter Spanish. I was born in Tarragona, but I don't speak Spanish nor live there anymore because I was relocated down south to Singapore when I was very young. Nature is always very close to my heart. Wherever I go, I usually skip the tourist-y places and head straight for the mountains, lakes or forests. Singapore's very much a concrete jungle, but I would be more than glad to show you what tiny bit of nature we have. You won't be disappointed! I'm also a thrill-seeker, so if there's anything that you guys can recommend, I will more than likely go ahead with it. Photography and music is always near me wherever I go, and I like to bring my skateboard with me whenever I travel in Singapore. I'm currently trying to pick up Spanish again, and if you can teach me some, I would be so so grateful. Hopefully one day I will return to the beautiful city of Barcelona, with enough Spanish in my vocabulary to actually carry a proper conversation 😉 (Also, if you are into photography as well and have instagram, I would be more than honoured to follow you. Just drop me a message! My username is the_sunkissed_traveller - No laughin! 😂.) PS: Just got back from the craziest road trip in Germany. Hit me up if you're down for some crazy travel stories 😂

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Backpacking's one of my biggest hobbies, and I figured, what better way to travel than to do it while interacting with the new wonderful people I meet at every turn.
Music, Movies, and Books
So so so so many. I love Quentin Torantino and Christopher Nolan. Movies include, but are definetly not limited to: Django Unchained, Hateful 8, The Prestige, Inception. Books - huge collection of Classics. Jules Verne, Charles Dickens, Jack London, Enid Blyton, the list goes on. Music - I'm really into Indie. Bands like Whilk and Misky, Kopecky and Tame Impala somehow always seem to make my day with their wonderful music. Check out the song - Clap Your Hands by Whilk and Misky, you won't be disappointed!! I'm also a huge fan of jazz and reggae. If you're into the latter genre as well, you ABSOLUTELY MUST listen to this man - Bushy One String. Search for his song, Chicken in a Corn on Youtube...
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I once did a handstand on a boulder at the edge of Mount Hutt overlooking the gorgeous landscape of New Zealand. A few seconds after I came down, a strong gust of wind swept it clean off the edge of the cliff. It was only later that I found out the unfortunate boulder had tumbled about 2,000 metres down to sea level. Regardless of what transpired, my dream is to do the same thing with every mountain I scale in my lifetime, and to have someone equally crazy to do it with me!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you guys the slang of Singapore. I can also share with you guys the secret to photography, cooking Singaporean dishes, skating/longboarding, basketball/football, and hopefully start you off on the guitar as well. :')
What I Can Share With Hosts
My experiences, a warm smile, plenty of laughter, and most importantly, friendship. (Also, I make pretty sick pasta and steak if that's up your alley! :D)
