I'm a child of the world - Born in Taiwan, Learned to walk and talk in Beijing, China. Educated in New Zealand, Trained for the Army in Taiwan and found my direction in the UK. I once appeared on National Television back home in Taiwan. I've also made an appearance on NZ National News (entirely different reasons). I love poetry, cooking and eating.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently at that age - where I'm travelling lots or wanting to travel, but making solid plans with friends is near impossible. I'm often traveling alone to see the world and couchsurfing is a much warmer way to travel . I also always have a tale to tell.
