21 year old female with an undying zest for life!

Sorry I can't link to my Facebook for some reason! But if you would like to find me, I can be reached at https://www.facebook.com/shalom.alex.tan

Note: be nice. I'm not here for freeloaders who don't even bother introducing themselves and just want a free night. That's not the spirit of couchsurfing and you know it >:(

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend and I were stranded in Leiden for 10 days and this site saved our asses (and a whole lot of money). Of course, to pay it forward, if you ever drop by our hometown of Singapore when you visit, we would love to show you around our little island that is both multicultural and multiracial.

Interests

Philosophy and music. Any genre, any field of knowledge. Biased towards epistemology and classic rock ^^

I play the guzheng (chinese zither), guitar, ukulele, piano, bass, and a little bit of any instrument I can get my hands on!

• music

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to list at the moment!

Reads: The Sense of an Ending, Written on the Body, Lang Leav, Pablo Neruda, the occasional Freud or Sartre. I'm also a huge Harry Potter fan :>

Music: Keane, Journey, Queen, Feist, Florence and the Machine, Sara Bareilles, Elbow, The Civil Wars, Jayme Dee

Movies: I'm a sucker for cartoons

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've shielded my friend from other climbers while she changed her pad on the Great Wall of China (it was an emergency).

I have also survived a very serious car crash, which is amazing if I might say so myself.
