I'm Ru, from Singapore but currently living in Barcelona for 6 months! I have also studied and worked in the US for the past 5 years. Contemporary dance is my first love, passion and occupation, but making new friends and immersing myself in new experiences greatly fulfill my life as well :) I really enjoy interesting conversations and learning about different cultures! I also love food, art and nature, and am happy soaking up everything that life has to offer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Quite honestly, traveling can be tight on the wallet, which is one of the reasons I'm here, but also because I had a great experience previously with a couch surfer and I love how it brings people together to have cultural exchanges! It's a great way to meet a local who knows the places to go and the real parts of the area that you may not have otherwise known about.

Interests

Movies, most genres, preferably with good actors but it's funny when they're bad too
Books, anything interesting. I appreciate stylish, whimsical writers that have a sense of humour
Baking, cooking, anything to do with food and I'm there!
Dance, of course.
Going to bars, chilling, jazz music, swing dance, art (love museums), music, beautiful nature, the beach, historical sites, science, math, anthropology, collaboration, cafes, comedy shows etc.etc.
