About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience places, people and culture!

ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded, quite adventurous, fun loving type of person. I love meeting new people, and learning about their cultures. My travelling experience is limited, and my imminent trip to Asia will be the farthest and longest trip I have had. I have always wanted to travel to China, I love the culture and people there, so it is a dream come true to have this trip. To have some of you nice couchsurfing people to stay and make friends with would be brilliant.
At the moment I am attempting to make film-making my trade, and have worked as a camera assistant on music videos and corporate video. My biggest passion is Hong Kong film, and I have just started to make my own Kung Fu movie short films. The first stop in my trip is Hong Kong, and it's my first visit!
I am a polite and respectful person, and treat others as I want to be treated myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the full, respect others
