About Me

Born in Hong Kong, raised and educated in Melbourne. I have practised as a lawyer and also spent a large amount of time working in banking. Just taking a break from it all and travelling around Europe and South/Central America before hopefully finding something more meaningful to do with life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Am travelling to many places and want to be able to meet local people in each city and to really experience local traditions, culture and food.

Interests

Health and fitness, snowboarding, the beach, enjoying good food and good wine over great conversation.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like a bit of everything, rock (Foo fighters and Muse are two of my favourites) and EDM gets me going too.

Movies: Christopher Nolan is probably one of my favourite directors - have enjoyed all his films. Love comic book hero movies. The GodFather trilogy - oldie but goodie!

Books: The Alchemist, The Snowball Effect (book about Warren Buffet - but only a favourite because it made me realise why I would never want to be like him!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

White water rafting down the Franklin River in Tasmania for 8 days without a guide, no cell phones, no technology, with a bunch of friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

Currently reading a book called "Abundance" - highly recommended, all we need to do is to unite together and all think how we can improve this world with exponential technologies.
