Ben here! Malaysian 🇲🇾 but I have been in Singapore 🇸🇬 for the past 5 years.
I'm currently taking a gap year, so yes I will be Travelling!
Fav city: Berlin!!!

I'm a simple guy really; coffee in the morning, Netflix woohoo, tend to smile and babble quite a bit haha and ya I'm just up for both crazy fun and slow, chill time~ but yes, COVFEFE PLS ☕️

I'm definitely looking forward to my time abroad and meeting new people, making connections through casual conversations. I may be awkward at first but oh trust me after I’ve warmed up to you, I’m talkative af hahaha
Warning: I do occasionally get really excited having intellectual conversations 😅 but don’t worry, I won’t nerd out if it’s not your thing hahaha and also, I might be too tired to do that sometimes anyway

Here's to new experiences and a new year ahead. 🍻

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hey I'm a friendly guy so wanting to hang out is kinda my thing hahaha. And I really wanna meet more ppl of the world! Having stayed in Mexico for 10 weeks, constantly meeting new travellers has made me want to just really go out and make connections with other people.

Besides, would love to learn more about the places I'll visit, and the locals know best 🤗 and when I have my own place, I’m totally opening my place to other surfers!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can wear just one layer when it's 4°C out~ does that count as amazing? Hahaha but really tho I was freezing!

Honestly I have done a lot of stupid things in my life so idek where to start. Talk to me and you’ll find out :)

**I almost killed everyone when I drove on the left side of the road in Cozumel, Mexico 😂 British colonial past man**

Teach, Learn, Share

I can speak quite a few Asian languages so hey wanna learn?
I suppose I can teach chess at a basic level since my dad was an instructor. Haven’t played ping-pong, badminton and tennis for a Long time but I can still play if you’d like.

I really wanna learn how to cook. Cuz I’ve only been baking all this time, never really cooked. So if you can teach me that I’d so appreciate it!

Besides that, the best thing I can share is possibly my company and just talk about life I suppose, if you’re into that :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I suppose what I can share most is kindness and love ❤️ cuz we need that more than ever.
Also, I'm a fun loving guy! I have quite a few interesting stories to share about my life so ya that should be cool (???) hahaha
