世界那么大，我想去看看

CS is one of the best things I've ever done! Began when I felt the spare bedroom in my apartment was wasted. Now I host as much as I can.

I work in high frequency trading. But because there must be more to life than shuffling around money with computers, I try to balance out my work with as much travel as possible. So you’ll find me on a plane or train about every second weekend to somewhere new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because people are the best part of the journey

Interests

Wandering and exploring. Good food. Photography. Books.

I’m a history buff and like knowing about the places I visit. It helps me put the world into context. I like to think that everyone I meet can help me get one step closer to the bigger picture.

When I'm not working, travelling or hosting I like to spend my time exercising and reading.
