About Me

Young professional based in Melbourne with great passion in exploring new places and getting on the road.

Blessed to have lived in 4 continents and 5 counties (China, Singapore, Spain, USA, Australia) and traveled to 40+ countries - on the way to visit more. The best thing about traveling for me is to connect with local people and have a taste of what living in the place is like.

Into outdoors (hiking, biking, skiing) and water sports (kayaking, sailing, diving, SUP). Also enjoy going out and having a good time.

Interests

Canoeing, cycling, reading, culture

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all sorts of music ranging from rock, indie folk and rap. Some of favorites are Arcade Fire, James Blake, Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver, My Little Airport, Avicii, Kendrick Lamar, Beatles.
Into Jean Luc Godard's movies (thus also Wong Kar Wai's).
I read both novels and nonfiction books. Recently on The Stranger by Camus. Now on Annie Ernaux and Karl Ove Kanusgård.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped on farms in California, Washington and Wales, tasks ranging from gardening, animal feeding and painting. seriously thinking of getting my own farm after I retire (maybe Italy or Southern France?)
