**New to couchsurfing** :)

Chinese-born South African Australian currently on a career break volunteering in Buenos Aires.

My greatest passion in life is PEOPLE! I thrive on making new connections and hearing the stories of other people's lives. Therein, I believe, lies the true meaning of life. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience something new and meet locals wherever I go. :) While a regular on friends' couches (and my friends on mine), I've never tried a stranger's couch. Could be good? I hope!

As part of my career break, I would like to fill it with as many new experiences and opportunities for growth as possible. One way of doing this is indulging in the local flavours of the places I travel to through couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived on all six habitable continents.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English or any of the languages I'm fluent in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories from my travels as well as insider tips and tricks for travel to the places I've lived in. Plus, my hosts would probably be invited to wherever it is I'm living in at the time. :) I love having guests (when my situation permits this)!
