About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase. Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze.

ABOUT ME

Multinational kid born and raised in London

PHILOSOPHY

Love and truth are all that matter. Work towards both, but don't get worked up about either.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Relax and enjoy the ride.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed a bit, had a lot of housemates host in the past.

I'm staying in Mei Fei Hong Kong till the end of september, hoping to make some friends who might be able to show me around the cool parts of town :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a couple of really welcoming experiences in Amsterdam and Berlin. Most people on here seem pretty chilled which I love.

In the past i've had the pleasure of living with flatmates who endlessesly hosted couchsurfers for a few months. It was an incredible unique experience; being able to wake in the morning and have the question "so, what's /your/ country of origin" was such a joy. And sampling a thousand different home cooked cuisines really put some spice into life.

Interests

My interests range from mindfulness and fitness to food, partying and good music - whatever it is, it's all good for the soul.

I'm also trying to learn cantonese and the ukulele in my spare time.
