About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become a cultural hub

ABOUT ME

I like to keep things varied. Just arrived in Phnom Penh. Really enjoying it. Moved into a flat with a couple of CSers. Need to get a job so I can feed and clothe myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Feeding and housing the masses. Storing up some good karma for next time I go travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just hosted a massive xmas dinner for the local CS community in PP and anyone passing through. The thing took a lot more work than expected and I need to find a job, so I'm taking a break from hosting for a while.

Reading, photography, watching films (I used to watch a lot of fiction but now I prefer documentaries), travel and socializing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not much of an historian but I found Angkor Wat and Petra particularly impressive.

Teach, Learn, Share

I met a French CSer. He told me the trick to good pomme dauphinoise is to parboil the potatoes in milk. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds crucial.
