I've lived in Ho Chi Minh City off and on for 5 years and I'm lucky enough to only work a few hours a week, so what better way to spend some of my free time than meeting up with fellow locals, nomads and travelers!

If you're local maybe you can show me something cool or introduce me to a new Vietnamese delicacy! If you're a fellow ex-pat or digital nomad perhaps we can go on an adventurer, and if you are new to HCMC I'd love to show you my favourite spots on a motorbike ride or explore the city.

I'm also up for meeting people to just chill out or play poker, chess or badminton with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet as many fun, interesting, weird and wonderful people as possible, and because I had really great experiences hosting people when I lived in the UK.

Interests

One of my biggest passions (I have quiet a few) is for cooking, and sharing good food I've made with other people is what life is all about for me. I'm equally happy to eat good food made by someone else, too!

Other interests include film, (radical) politics, art, football and keeping fit.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into Hip Hop, Motown, Seattle Grunge, Post-punk, Downtempo, Nu jazz, Trip Hop, DnB and some chilled acoustic stuff like Elliot Smith.

Some of my favourite films are Moon, Let the Right One In, Primer, Irreversible, Raw, Tangerine, Moonlight, Call Me By Your Name.

Books: The Trial, Love in the Time of Cholera, The Old Man and the Sea, The Dharma Bums, Dean Koontz for mindless escapism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Imma give you three...

* Founded a successful radical political print publication.

* Swam with pink dolphins in the Amazon.

* Entered Colombia illegally and got detained, finger printed and mug shotted before being allowed to leave the country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little about a lot.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good food, intelligent conversation, nights out, stories of my crazy adventures and the chance to create some new ones.
