I live and work in New York, having previously lived in Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur, San Francisco, London and Paris.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My happiest memories of traveling to new places are when I've had the opportunity to meet locals, understand a little of the local area, and share a meal or a conversation with people completely outside my normal existence. The warm glow of friendship which steps across barriers of nationality, race or language - these are the true pleasures of wandering.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books that have truly touched or affected me are:

The Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse
The Golden Gate by Vikram Seth
La Vie, Mode d'Emploi by Georges Perec
The Shadow of The Sun by Ryszard Kapuściński

each reminds me of the specific time or place in my life when I first read the book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had the good fortune to visit some amazing places and meet some incredible people in my life. One of the most incredible memories for me is walking the Milford Track with 3 wonderful friends. The scenery was sublime and the memories from that trip always bring a smile to my face.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A smile, a conversation, a shared meal.
