CURRENT MISSION

To see what else is out there

ABOUT ME

I'm 22 years old and from Brisbane, I was born in Taipei then moved to Christchurch at a very young age and did most of my schooling in Brisbane. I came back from a 5 month trip of Europe in December 2010 and right now I'm planning on a South America trip in May 2012.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed for a month when I was in Portugal and I absolutely loved the experience. It has changed my views on traveling, never thought that this type of traveling could be so easy and rewarding at the same time. It has also given me more of a purpose for when I travel.

Interests

Like most 21 year olds, I enjoy hanging out with friends, having a drink or two. going to music festivals, road trips etc. Meeting new people is also up there, its a real joy to me to meet someone that you connect with so well even though you may live half the world away from each other.
