About Me

Travelling the world to meet new people, experience other cultures, and learn.

I used to work in video game design, but now travelling is my life. Everything I own is in my backpack.

While traveling, I'm amazed every day by my own ignorance. I used to think I was smart and that I knew how the world works, but the more I travel, the more I realize I don't have a clue. And I love it.

I teach English to Chinese children online to pay the bills.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet nice social people while I travel and I think couchsurfing is a great way to do that. I'm looking for connections and interesting interactions.

But if you're not too social, I'm fine exploring by myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm too humble to brag ;)

But seriously, I've had a lot of experiences.... but when I meet others and they tell me about their adventures, I feel like an amateur 😄

Teach, Learn, Share

You can practice English with me, I've taught English for 4 years.

I'd love to learn how to cook a meal you like to make. I'll buy the ingredients!

Anything you can teach me would be great. I love hearing about other people's theories and philosophies.

I can clean your bathroom, kitchen. I'm decent at giving massages. I like to help out in any way I can.
