I was born in Shanghai, grew up in Melbourne and have lived in over 8 countries in the last 10 years including The Netherlands, India, Bangladesh, USA, UK, the UAE, Malaysia and Indonesia.

I started off as a NGO worker fighting slavery and human trafficking and have just completed a 4 year stint as a management consultant working with some of the largest companies and government institutions across the world.

I'm currently working on a startup in the health and fitness industry and can't wait to launch the next phase of my life as an entrepreneur.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a big believer that people learn more and become better people when they meet others that DON'T think like them. In this world, I think that the best way to defeat ignorance and intolerance is to expose oneself to different cultures, belief systems and viewpoints of the world.
