About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To operate a time machine that moves in normal time
ABOUT ME
My father is Chinese/Australian and my mother is French/Irish/Australian. I grew up in Sydney but I have lived in Melbourne, Singapore, India, Berlin and China.
I have studied Journalism and music.
In Australia, I split my time between playing music in a band called TZU and writing stories and articles.
I am a voracious reader and watcher of films and am currently studying Chinese and French.
PHILOSOPHY
Curiosity skilled the cat.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am open to the idea that couch surfing is a good way for honest and good-natured people to make connections across divides of language and culture and in the process help each other and make lasting friendships.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have traveled around Australia, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Germany, Switzerland, England, Italy, Mongolia and China.
I have walked the Himalayas, ridden horses on the highlands, driven through scorching deserts and seen the sunrise in Varanasi, but what really blows my mind is walking my dog through the park in Melbourne and then having a nice relaxing ale at the Pinni'.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am interested in teaching and learning everything I can within the 24hr frame I'm given each day. It is worth noting though, that I'm a big fan of sleeping and eating, so realistically I don't devote 24hrs of my day to teaching and learning..
