I'm in my early thirties, live in a small house with a spare bedroom, green lawns overlooking a lovely little park with a stream. Love cats, and dogs. I love rock climbing and yoga. Reading is my thing. Spend my time reading and playing games. I love eating out. I work in the art auction industry. I'm fascinated by neuroscience and Buddhism. Am a relatively unfussy vegetarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, but am a bit of a hermit. Since I don't often get the opportunity to travel abroad, it seems like a great idea to invite foreign visitors to come stay with me instead.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in a Buddhist temple as a semi-monk for three years, and learned Mandarin Chinese.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A tiny spare bedroom. The affection of my cat.
I am a bachelor, so the food isn't much to speak off, but I like eating out and having a beer.
I might feed you vegetarian Chinese dumplings and bakchoi.
There are a lot of nice restaurants and bar about 4km from my house.
There are also gorgeous parks to walk on right outside my place.
