Went to high school in Hong Kong, hence was anglophile as a teenager. I work in Sales, so I love to chat. I also love dancing... Taught salsa and zouk for many years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to meet cool people who love to travel... but also mainly to practise the local language. Otherwise I would go to a hostel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done many amazing things in my life, mostly in travelling ... The most recent great experience was tarzan jumping into a magnificent looking cenote in the Yucatan... You gotta try it.
I also got lost last year while hiking in Boquete in Panama. I spent 7 hours in the Il Pianista forest trail when it was supposed to be a 4-hour hike. ( People have died there before.) Suffice to say that it was the most adventurous hike in my life... :-o

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach, learn, share anything, at least once. LOL ;-P

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can learn to cook with you, eat with you. Drink some good red wine. Talk literature & world news. Dance & teach you to dance. Conversations are always nice... I love to laugh. I'm only serious when I'm teaching dancing.. lol.
