About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To reach for the unreachable star

ABOUT ME

After uni, I went to study and work in Beijing for 4 years where I immersed myself in this totally fascinating culture and in the process made so many good friends from all over the world. At the end of 2009, I left my real estate company and went on an epic walk about taking me from Tokyo through Southeast Asia and across the Indonesian islands to Bali.

This summer, starting in August, my French girlfriend and I plan on spending almost two months backpacking across Europe - my first time to visit. We are a fun couple that want to see a lot but also want to meet some cool people along the way. While my girlfriend speaks fluent English, Spanish and French and I can speak English and Chinese.

In a nutshell, I love travelling, meeting new people, sharing new experiences and basically being happy.

PHILOSOPHY

Having a laugh
