About Me

I am on a break from whatever it is that I am doing, trying to decide what and where to go next. In the meantime, I just moved to Hong Kong where I am working as a marine biologist at the university. Hosting people is really difficult because I live in a research station at the end of Cape D'Aguilar, where access is beyond difficult, but a coffee or a meal should be doable. Just shoot me a message ;)

I have been hosting and surfing for 8 years now, so I would like it if people put a bit of effort into the requests as much as I do into the ones I write. Nothing too complex, just show me you're capable of reading my profile instead of copying and pasting (everybody can do that).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While on my gap year, I've surfed a few couches (mainly across Europe) with a friend of mine and to be honest, the experience couldn't have been better. I've also hosted a fair few times and have since convinced a lot of people to join CS.
I recently did a trip from the bottom or Argentina to Alaska and I want to return some of the amazing hospitality I got whilst travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I deleted all of this section because it was so outdated.
Anyway, I've read a bit of everything, seen 917 movies (I have a list) and listened to a whole spectrum of music so I'm sure we will find something in common here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was put in a cage with lions when I was 10 and survived to tell the story.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you amazing trivia facts about marine animals? Teach you random words in languages that you will never need to use in your life? Are you convinced yet?
