About Me

I finished a work contract June 2015, sold-gave away-trashed all my belongings except for my bike, tent and some clothes. Now my life is on the road.

I am riding my bike across a chunk of the world, mostly from Beijing to London, with a few detours here and there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am very new to couch surfing, but I hope it gives me an opportunity to experience a culture better. In hostels you meet some interesting people but you are all experiencing a culture from the same perspective. In a hotel you are separated completely. So I hope couch surfing is something more than all of that.

Plus I love the awkwardness of trying to not be a bother to someone who is nice enough to let me stay.

Interests

Too many to really cover in this section and they change all the time.

For now, I am traveling the world on my bicycle with a ukulele, a tiny chess board and worn hiking boots, these are enough interests for now .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many things and yet so few, but definitely trekking over the 5460m Thorung pass in the Himalayas is a recent and super memorable achievement.

Teach, Learn, Share

I live and travel to learn, teach me to dance, sing, cook, speak a language or none of those things. And I can try to teach you any of those things, but I am a bit shy at first.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Beyond some good stories I love to cook, Australia doesn't have any national dishes so I cook lots of stuff, I would be happy to cook for you.

Albania, Armenia, Botswana, Cambodia, China, Colombia, Croatia, England, Georgia, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Italy, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Montenegro, Nepal, New Zealand, North Korea, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Turkey, United Kingdom, Viet Nam, Zimbabwe
