About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm like an onion, more layers you peel the stronger the intensity...

PHILOSOPHY

The bad news: Nothing lasts forever. The good news: Nothing lasts forever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've made great friendships through CS and I've seen some of them again after a few years.

But I've also had really dodgy experiences where I had to escape their house because the guy was being inappropriate and wanted more than just friendly exchange.

Interests

Live music, art gallery hopping, trying out new bars and restaurants, weekend getaways, watching stand up comedies, critiquing films, being goofy in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kayaking in the Abel Tasman in New Zealand - beautiful scenery and swimming naked with baby seals!

Climbing Mt Cook Mueller Track in New Zealand and reaching the peak after a hell of a climb. Waking up in the morning and watching the cloud cover over the mountains was epic.

Going to the Sahara desert in Tunisia by trekking with the Bedouins (the nomads) and their camels!

Teach, Learn, Share

You can learn something from everyone.

I play the piano and busk with my partner. I could definitely play some tunes if you have a spare piano lying around! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My specialisation in sustainability (architecture, city planning and general facts...), my interesting experiences being a bicultural person, balancing between eastern and western culture. My crazy travel stories :)
