About Me

I climb rocks, shoot pictures and make videos.

I am an adrenaline junkie, high seeker and a curious explorer. I love great fun, especially one born out of spontaneity and extremity.

I love staying out and can hardly sit still for a moment. I find myself constantly on the go and seeking new air.

I enjoy being at the confluence of things, meeting new people, and getting flummoxed by new cultures and new territories.

I have a current mission to explore the world, and to travel and live in major global cities.

And I love peanut butter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to think that life is an accumulation of experiences, than material, and ultimately a captivating story to be shared at dinner table. I would love to hear stories from other people. People who knows their place and culture, their history and their own history. Find local digs. Meander through discreet back alleys. Experience others' lives. Eat their food. The better way to travel is to share that experience with other people.

Spent sunset hanging off the side of a cliff

Survived through harsh conditions in the rainforests of Brunei
Cliff-jumped off 15m at Boracay, Philippines
Zip through canopies in Laos
Sailed through the Bay of Islands in New Zealand
Dashed through hailstorm in the Tymfi mountains
Worked and lived through countless sleepless nights in an architectural office
