Hi there, I'm Liem. I've just left my job of 5 years in mining and am pursuing long term slow travel through India, Pakistan and Central Asia.

My plan for India is to travel counter clockwise of the country starting from Amritsar. I hope to make it to Assam, into Nepal and back through India.

I have many interests and i am quite open minded - i'm willing to give anything a shot.

I practice yoga regularly and love how that allows me to quieten that little voice in my head and just allow me to 'be'.

I love movement and love my sports (soccer, aussie rules football, volleyball, cricket, tennis, you name it!) Would love to plan some cricket! My favourite Aussie players are Brett Lee and Shane Warne, Pakistan is Shoaib Akhtar, and India obviously Tendulkar!

I am always learning new things and reading new stories. I have been cooking many Vietnamese meals lately.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like most people here, I want to meet the locals of the lands I visit. I am looking for authentic experiences and i want to hear all your stories.

I have very interested in geopolitics and would love to hear your opinion on current affairs.
