About Me

I am a Chinese born Australian. I am easy going, happy, and I LOVE BEER!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a passionate traveler and an adventure junkie. I love learning other cultures, languages. Connecting with awesome people all around the world. I recently caught the travel bug, and suffering from severe obsessive compulsive travel disorder. Just kidding... I'm currently on a 2 years long round the world trip, and would love to meet some kick-ass people, drink beer and share stories with!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to alot of Progressive House. I like classical music, symphonies, violins. I also like salsa Colombiana, bachata and Reggaeton.

My favorite book is "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. I have read many of his masterpieces. He is simply amazing.

I recently started reading philosophy related books such as Sophie´s World by Jostein Gaarder.

I also like "Born To Run" by Christopher McDougall, "Eat and Run"by Scott Jurek, "It's Not About The Bike" & "Every Second Counts" by Lance Armstrong.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camino de Santiago. I walked approx 5000kms across Spain. I have met so many incredible people on the way, learned so much about humanity and seen the amazing landscape of Spain. I started the Camino with a lot of questions in my head. The journey has enlightened me with much wisdom and provided me with direction of my life. It was a very unique and spiritual experience and I highly recommend it, to walk the Camino at least once in your life time!

My other adventures include:
Antarctica Expedition.
Mt Everest Base Camp, Nepal.
Mt Everest Base Camp, China.
Annapurna, Nepal.
Kokoda Track, PNG.
Patagonia, Chile.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning Spanish and I can teach English and Chinese(Mandarin & Cantonese). I'd like to find a language partner to practise my Spanish with.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share my travel and adventure stories. I love food, so I would love to try local delicacies and street food. I can cook some simple Chinese and Italian food, and would love to learn other types of cooking.
