ABOUT ME

I'm a 30-something dreamer who's now putting into practice the travels i've been dreaming about for years. Having spent 10 years living on and off in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, I decided to drop out of the rat race and see what the rest of the world has to offer.

I'm very easy going, fun loving and always up for new things. Life for me is all about being open to learning and experiencing something new all the time. People, places, sights and sounds

In October 08 I left the Phnom Penh, heading off through provinces and on Road number 3 down Kandal Province to Kompong Speu and Takeo. I was intending to bus straight on to Takeo but was having so much fun that I decided to extend for a while and see a little of South of Phnom Penh, headed through Kandal and Kompong Speu.

I spent 2 months in Kadal but fate propelled me back here to Takeo, a province I completely fell in love with. Having spent 2 years teaching and then tourism I decided to open a small school (English and Computer without charge) here with my province partner.

In April 2012 this project expanded to make The Empire, not only a school but a fully fledged Hygiene and Health care house. Now you can find The CPOC in the centre of Prey Gneak just off the road number 3.

Right now there is no other place I want to be

PHILOSOPHY

It's all about the journey, that's what makes travel so satisfying

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host and help with organizing meet ups in Takeo, happy to meet everyone who travels through this way!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have spent the best part of a lifetime couch surfing, though 'unofficially' till I found this website.. Since then I've couch surfed through Kandal, Preyveng and Kompongspeu and attended meetings from Preyveng to Svayreang and quite a few places in between. Not to mention hosting CSers and CS parties here in Svayreang, from weekly dinner meetings to a 30-strong traditional Xmas dinner

Since deciding to settle in Takeo I've had some great experiences with CS meet-ups and in hosting an ever changing influx of travelers to Cambodia. Look forward to continuing this experience... it has been so far, without exception, a joy!

Interests

Film is a huge passion for me and my tastes and pretty diverse, but get me talking on this subject and you may have a hard time shutting me up. One thing I really miss when traveling is my DVDs!

One of the great joys of traveling is the food for me, and I’m always up for trying something new where this is concerned.

Besides that Music, Art, Books, Politics and Psychology. I can talk shit about most stuff, ha-ha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to pick one, prefer to live for the moment

Teach, Learn, Share

I've just finished training as an English language teacher, and part of the process was the realization of what a learning process teaching is. So I guess I have a lot to share and a lot to learn..
