*DO NOT SEND ME A FRIEND REQUEST IF YOU HAVE NEVER MET ME BEFORE*

Hi, I am Sam. I love meeting new friends who are very different from me and I enjoy having my worldview expanded through them. (Potentially you!) I am a street-food fanatic and am a Potterhead.

I also enjoy people watching. All right, I’ll watch the wall if you’re getting uncomfortable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Who doesn’t like surfing on couches?

Interests

Music, film, politics.

It’s always amazing to learn more about people. How they live, what they think, who they are. Even better if they like silly.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - AC/DC, Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Wonder, Glenn Underground, Todd Terje, Nu Guinea.

Movies - Life is Beautiful, Whiplash, Arrival, Bird Man.

Not movies - GoT, IT Crowd, Outnumbered, Chernobyl.

Books - Compass by Mathias Enard or Dear Leader by Jang Jin-sung intrigue me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being silly.

Helping out at orphanages in third world countries. I may not be able to do much but a refreshing view of optimism and a little volunteering puts a smile on the faces of children. Of course, being silly helps here...

I've also been a fisherman's apprentice at the Praiano Coast for one whole morning. And firewood IC in the Mongolian outback. And made Blinis (russian pancake) in a post-communistic home in Siberia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share about the amazing 3rd generation culture I experience as a Singaporean. And, of course, more about the diverse and vibrant life in Singapore.

I would learn to love more about you as a person. Your family, your food, your culture, your life, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m honest and tidy. I would also be more than willing to cook South East Asian food for you. Oh, trust me, we have the best cuisines in the world. Singapore's known as a foodie nation. 👀

I can also bring you some sunshine and energy from sunny Singapore.
