About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fill up my passport before it expires in 2020. :)

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm not very good at describing myself. Quiet but friendly! I'm studying Chinese and caught the travel bug about a year back. I'm happy anywhere where there's cold beer, warm evenings and good conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

In a number of languages (this will get pretentious):
Da frugaliter fututionem.
C'est rien de mourir, c'est affreuse de ne pas vivre.
Se loro possono, perché non possiamo noi?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I'm just surfing, but I'd like to do more hosting in future!
My couchsurfing philosophy is that my hosts have their own stuff to do, so I try to stay out of their hair. If you want to go out/ show me around though, tell me, cos I'd love it! :D
