About Me

ABOUT ME
I'm a very tall person (183cm), especially for where I have chosen to live for the last six years!

I am also a runner and SCUBA enthusiast. Currently I have made learning Spanish my mission. I have lived in Asia for the past six years, including almost two years in Taiwan, nine months in the Maldives and the past three years in Vietnam. I love food, especially pizza, running and hiking in the mountains, and generally new experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Be honest- it's easier to remember what you said!

What I Can Share with Hosts

The feeling of seeing your city or country through new eyes. I think this is something we forget. When we settle in, we start to take things for granted and a new set of eyes can really wake you up to how great things are around you!
