About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel like marco polo from house to house

ABOUT ME

Worked in Korea for a year in 2013 now traveling for the next 5 months looking for a new country to call home. would be great to meet people along the way to get a different view of the places I am visiting. Like seeing and tasting things outside of the guide books and meeting new friends who I can host in the future.

Here's my food blog if you wanna see some of the foods we've been eating from out travels

PHILOSOPHY

Sleep when you are dead.
Never leave anything on your plate.
The things you own end up owning you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are just surfing at the moment. Looking forward to hosting when we find a new home. Only discovered it through 'scooter' an American we met in Tokyo. Best decision ever to pursue it. Has changed the way I will travel forever

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First CS experience was in Taipei with a lovely women called sherry. I love the idea of helping people through couch surfing.
Met lots of new friends in Taiwan. Just amazed at peoples hospitality.
Experience in China as been the most amazing so far. Hosted by Ethan and then welcomed into his circle of CS friends for everyday that we were in Guangzhou. We don't want to leave. The people are too nice.
