Quirky, fun loving, smart and always trying to find balance between introspection and adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve been an expat for about 16 years and traveling all over the world. I’ve finally made it to Southeast Asia and keen to explore!! But now I’m in a part of the world where I don’t actually know many people. Help me discover new places and meet awesome people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many...skydiving in Dubai, Spain and USA as a licensed skydiver, water skiing on the Congo River, crashing a President’s Birthday party in South America, eating scorpions in Beijing. Basically, if it’s weird, random and exciting, I want to try.

Teach, Learn, Share

A writer by trade, I’m happy to help with any writing or editing. I’m also a 15-year yogi and more than happy to share a morning session. I love swaping stories of the past and dreams of the future.
