Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to explore and prefer to meet interesting people along the way rather than close ourselves off in a hotel room, so we prefer couchsurfing and hostels. We also love meeting new people through hosting.

Music, Movies, and Books

My all-time favorite movie is Harold and Maude.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once tackled by Canadian Mounties whilst running across a stadium floor in which the Queen of England was cutting a ceremonial cake. I was wearing a bear suit and brandishing a sign that read: "God Save the Bears"

I stole the podium from then-Prime Minister of Australia John Howard while he spoke at a fancy hotel in Singapore. I was not caned.
