About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To extend a welcome to the global community... look forward to meeting as many of you as I can! :)

ABOUT ME

Friendly, chilled and love to have a good laugh. I live for travel and meeting new people around the world. Born and bred in Perth, Western Australia, I am an Aussie with Chinese-Malaysian heritage. I support the mighty West Coast Eagles (so close this year!). And I LOVE food. Especially potatoes.

PHILOSOPHY

The poem "Desiderata" by Max Ehrmann and of late The Holstee Manifesto have very much influenced how I see the world and how I wish to live my life - sustainably, with shared experiences and appreciation of this beautiful planet.
"This is your life. Do what you love and do it often."
