Overview
About Me
About me? Difficult to say. I'm certainly not a boring guy. I move around a lot. Never really settled anywhere. Bit of a wanderer. Spent half my life in China and half in Australia, so you could say I'm half-Chinese.
I enjoy the simple things, like having free time. Full-time work doesn't agree with me. I'll drink a beer with just about anyone. And my stories get more honest as the drinking continues.
I've just moved to Shenzhen and I'm having a blast. Met so many interesting people and many more to come. I feel like this is the place I'm meant to be.

Music, Movies, and Books
Rock n roll is sort of a religion to me. Mostly stuff from the late 60s and early 70s, particularly Led Zeppelin.
Also blues, country, jazz, soul, folk, big band..... basically anything pre-Justin Beaver.
Movies: Fast Times at Ridgemont High (Sean Penn at his best)

What I Can Share with Hosts
I speak Chinese pretty well if you're interested in learning. I always have time for a good conversation (Couchsurfers tend to be interesting people), especially over a drink or seven.
