CURRENT MISSION

To travel and to learn.

ABOUT ME

I like travelling, learning, meeting new people, writing, etc.

I lived in South Africa for 2 years, where I started the couch surfing experience. I've hosted and surfed since then, and I love doing it!

I studied at university in Japan for a year between 2016 and 2017, and lived in Taiwan for a few years before that. I'm also now back in Taiwan to study before returning to Japan for work.

Oh, and I'll get this out now: I do NOT drink alcohol, smoke, or do drugs, at all.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live, love and let love, learn and let learn. The world is a beautiful place, let's enjoy it together in peace!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't really done much with the Couchsurfing community for a while, but I used surf and host, and attend get togethers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted in Carlisle (England) and joint-hosted in Cape Town (South Africa), Liverpool (England) and Taipei (Taiwan).
I've surfed in Germany, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, the Philippines, and Sweden.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many kinds of films (usually the popular ones), various types of music (mainly metal), and as for books... well, I'm trying to become a novelist; I self-published my first book way back in December 2013 (Psst! It's called 'Ntshona', and you can find it on Amazon!). I actually haven't read a great deal of novels, although I am starting to rediscover the magic that I forgot about when I was a child, however many of the titles I go for these days are perhaps a little more obscure and history or sci-fi related. Plus I've read a tonne of books about politics, international relations, and development. That's an achievement, because some of them can be very sleep-inducing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
