About Me

Hi there, I'm Matt! I work as a journalist in Perth, Western Australia. I am also a qualified chef and self-professed food enthusiast!

Ask me about my background as a Kiwi-born, London-raised Malaysian...

"Omnia causa fiunt" is my favourite life motto, it's Latin for "Everything happens for a reason".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I relish the opportunity to learn phrases in different languages, exploring new food, and meeting people from across the globe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won a scholarship as New Zealand’s first ever embedded student journalist. I travelled with the Whitireia Performing Arts group to Tainan City in Taiwan, covering the 2014 Nan Ying Folklore Festival. A scholarship of its kind has yet to be repeated. It was a great opportunity to meet people from different countries and to learn about their culture of dance.
