Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Find good Asian food in Europe
ABOUT ME
I am a New Zealander who lived in Sydney with my husband Tim for the last 3 years. We love food, art, culture, sports, music and self-exploration and are on a one year working holiday in France. We plan to also explore other countries in Europe, to our best ability!
Tim and I both do Tai Chi and Kungfu. We have a school back in Sydney, but now on the road it's a little difficult to practice!
We are both hobby artists as well, and I also dabble in classical opera.
We are very easy going, and I love cooking (so I can eat ;) Chinese meals, as I am originally from China, so always happy to cook for you! Or draw a portrait: I love to get practice, and if you can sit still for 30 minutes then we have something good happening ;)
PHILOSOPHY
Ask not what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive... then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
- Howard Thurman
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We hope to continue meeting interesting/inspiring people, and form lasting friendships through couch surfing.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Have hosted surfers from all walks of life back in 2009 when I lived in New Zealand. Really enjoyed the experience, letting the world come to you without leaving your doorstep.
Earlier this year I introduced Tim to couchsurfing and we hosted surfers in Sydney.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Drawing portraits for pocket money on market day in the historical French town Sarlat, my street artist dream come true!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am very easy going, so enjoy most types of people. Maybe the slightly crazy creative type feels closer to my heart? ;) But Tim is straight and arrow, so together we enjoy most people's company!
