I enjoy discovering the world we live in and make that possible when money and time permits!

I enjoy the outdoors and that includes hiking (took part in the Oxfam Trailwalker event where I walked 100kms in under 48 hours as part of a fundraising cause against poverty!), discovering lovely beaches etc. I like the arts and enjoy going to plays, musical productions, watching live music performances (little jazz bars to concerts!) etc. I'm a vegetarian (no meat or seafood but I eat eggs and dairy) but that doesn't mean my culinary world is boring! I enjoy cooking all things vegetarian. :) My other interests include photography (nothing professional!), reading, social justice, yoga, listening to music (jazz, hip hop, r&b, alternative, indie folk, blues, ambient etc)….

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I joined up this site to have the opportunity to meet people while on my overseas travels. My first couch surfing experience was in 2015 in Zurich, Switzerland where I was lucky enough to meet a lovely Swiss CS host who warmly shared his home with me and taught me a thing or two about Swiss culture (even got to try a Cheese fondue - how lucky!!). I'm keen to have more such positive CS experiences which is why I'm still on here.

I'm on here not to bag free accommodation (that's a bonus) but really to meet new people, have cultural exchanges and learn more about the city I'm visiting. I like the thought of discovering places that are more well known by locals than following the touristic trails. In saying that, I'm not against checking out tourist attractions… Why wouldn't I want to visit the Eiffel Tower when in Paris or visit the Anne Frank House when in Amsterdam? :)

I unfortunately am unable to host CS members in Perth BUT more than happy to play tour guide (advanced notice needed as I can be busy!) or give you local travel tips or even catch up over a cuppa/cheap meal. Drop me a line!

P/s: I'm not interested in hooking up or anything of that nature so please respect that. ;)

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I've hand fed elephants and bathed one of them while in an elephant nature reserve in Chiang Mai, Thailand!:)

If I had to think of something else, it would be tandem skydiving over Jurien Bay in Western Australia (amaaaaazing coastline!)! That's one of my most exciting experiences and I loved every second of it (yes, it was the fastest 60 seconds of adrenalin pumping in my life!)

Insegna, impara, condividi

I love learning about other cultures! Would be thrilled to learn how to cook some local dishes or learn some local phrases! Happy to share about my Indian/Singaporean culture too.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I could teach you how to cook Asian dishes if that's what you're interested in, share about my travel experiences…or bring you a small gift from Australia as a token of appreciation for your hospitality. :)
