Hello, Pok here!

I'm a little of everything: I lived in Singapore most of my life, then packed everything up and now call Auckland, New Zealand home. Studied accounting, then pivoted and became a sustainability consultant. Big indoor hermit, but also love travelling and seeing what's up in the world.

Art is my lifeblood - I believe in affecting change through storytelling, history and embracing different knowledge systems.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying to see beyond the touristy, and to engage with our unique stories. We all have interesting stories, I just hope to learn yours!

Interests

Mostly, I just love connecting. I love pausing in a cafe to people watch. Understanding people's stories. Listening intently and exploring.

• trekking
• theatre
• arts and culture

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: House, Chill

Book: Hillbilly Elegy, The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, Behind the Beautiful Forevers

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A moonrise (not a sunrise!) - blew my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have Emceed and given talks before, so anything on public speaking?

I want to learn how to make unique trinkets and uprecycle waste around me into great stuff.

Singapore and New Zealand are fascinating and curious countries. Happy to share a few stories here and there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Graciousness, space and a curious attitude. If it's comfortable with you, I love learning from people's stories and what makes us all unique.
