About Me

I am a liberal, vegetarian, living in central London, and I love to travel. I work for WaterAid, a major water charity which wants to provide access to clean water and sanitation. I have previously worked and lived in East Africa. I grew up in Hong Kong and have travelled widely in Asia, and I miss it. I love vegetarian food, markets, second hand clothes shopping, looking after my plants, and adventures, particularly in nature. My biggest hobby is surfing, although I'm still a beginner. I would love to show you some of the wonderful things London has to offer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people, I love to travel and I love adventures and colour in life. I am in a happy relationship, so not looking for more.

Interests

In London I enjoy cycling, good wine (nice bars) and great vegetarian food. When I travel I enjoy surfing, hiking, and art.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like folk and electro. I like comedy movies (not really into horror). I like good novels that are set in places I have visited, and also try to read historical and non-fiction books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the mountain gorillas in Rwanda and it was deeply affecting to be so close to such wonderful animals.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to make vegetarian food with you and share good wine and travel adventures. I want to help you practice your English and for you to teach me new words in your language. I want to show you the best bits of London you won't find in a guide.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will practice my English with you and help you cook and look after the house. I'll cuddle your pets (and kids, if you have them). I'll tell you about the UK, and the British system.
