Overview
About Me
I work as a freelance programmer from my laptop, which gives me freedom to travel a lot. For the last 5 years was pretty much non-stop traveling and never in the same place for more than a few months.
Now feel need some stability so doing graduate study at Oxford University, and able to return the favour and host people.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I created an account here years ago but didn't actually use it until randomly met a CS host in Vietnam. I enjoyed the experience staying with a local family - much better than a hotel by myself.
