I am a software engineer living in London. I'm from Bolton near Manchester, UK. I have lived in China and UAE before too and I have travelled to around 20 countries, so I have a lot of stories! Yes I speak Chinese too so we can practice and have a chat in Mandarin :D
I enjoy astronomy, piano, target shooting, hiking, reading, travelling, and all kinds of technology. I love to talk about interesting things.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

For me, travel is not about enjoying the luxuries and comforts of home in a foreign land. Its about immersing myself in a different culture and language, getting to know people and learning about myself. I think this experience should be accessible to everybody from any background and any budget, so I love what CS is about.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Scoured a mountain in 10metre visibility fog, with a team of around 10 people, to find a man made wartime tunnel with a 50cm opening. And we sure found it! (and got the whole thing on camera, after almost giving up twice)

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I love to learn languages, I love to cook for fun with friends. I love to talk to people about different things. I could even talk to somebody about knitting socks if they are passionate about it. You can never learn too much about anything.
