I’m an Australian designer, usually found in Milan, London or Berlin. I have a twin sister, an elder brother, and four half-Chinese brothers and sisters.

I grew up in the tropics of Cairns (not to be confused with the French Cannes), in the north-east of Australia.

For a year I lived in the Venetian countryside where Prosecco and Tiramisu come from. Sono Vegetariano.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve been fortunate to be hosted in The Netherlands, Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland. In Australia I hosted a room in my house through Airbnb for 18 months. Now I host through Couchsurfing when I can. It’s far more interesting.
