Hi! I'm Shaun from Singapore (: as you can see from my profile picture, I really like ice-cream. I'm currently majoring in psychology, and I love to get to understand people!

I love having nice deep conversations with people from different backgrounds. I can also whip up decent Asian food, which I absolutely love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love seeing the world, and I've travelled around the US and Europe on study trips. Mostly I've used airbnb, amongst other ways to get paid accommodation. Unfortunately, as a student with a severely limited income, I've found that accomm eats into my budget a lot!

Interests

I love reading, learning about cool things, watching satire news shows, seeing the world, EATING, and talking about random topics.

• dining
• news
• reading
• boxing
• psychology
• language exchange

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm partial to this Japanese author called Haruki Murakami. And I really loved "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini, about the struggles of women in Afghanistan.

I LOVE DISNEY MOVIES even though I'm supposed to be way past the appropriate age.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time - just one time - I finished an entire box of cookies by myself. I know right.

Teach, Learn, Share

Language exchange! Conversational Chinese for what you've got. So far, I've gotten by in Western Europe with very limited French and Spanish. Merci mucho.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make some Singaporean food if I can find the right ingredients! You will absolutely love it.
