Description
Born and bred in Singapore, I'm on a long-overdue 1 year sabbatical to travel, experience new things and learn to be a better woodworker. New to workaway but familiar with the whole couchsurfing experience from yesteryears. Have hosted couchsurfers and couchsurfed in many countries. (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/aaron-chua)

I enjoy working with my hands and generally open to new experiences and learning new things.

Simple pleasures I enjoy
- starting the day with black coffee / flat white
- the smell of rain, flowers and freshly cut wood
- riding my motorcycle

Spent the month of Feb in Thailand enrolled in a cabinet making course in the day and learning Muay Thai in the evenings.

The hospitality they both showed was amazing. The… read more

They've got such big hearts for serving the community with much love and dedication for the work they do which is infectious. There's plenty of work that needs to be done but it's never a boring day especially with the different visitors that spend their days here.… read more
