Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To live, to breath, to share, to help
ABOUT ME
I have studied in Singapore and the UK, and traveled much of Eastern and Western Europe as well as South East Asia.
I once wanted to be an international lawyer, but then I realized I hate rules. Wondering around foreign places brings me great happiness. I've also done quite a bit of international humanitarian work, especially in Cambodia, which holds a special place in my heart.
Besides saving the world, I enjoy hiking, running, yoga, three-legged races and hopscotch.
PHILOSOPHY
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me. –Hunter S. Thompson
If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.
- Dalai Lama
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I couchsurfed in Europe a couple years ago and have since participated in local Couchsurfing events. I have just moved to Malta from Toronto, and now have a nice big futon waiting to be surfed.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Have surfed couches in Paris, Marseilles, Berlin, Budapest and Salzburg. I have yet to host anyone at my house.
Interests
Art, taking pictures, writing, swimming, Human Planet and reading about social issues.
The only thing I'm really sure about in my life is my love for traveling. I don't know where it will take me, but I always enjoy the ride.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sitting on a terrace scarred with bullet holes, way up on a hill looking down at the lights of the city, and the rows upon rows of white gravestones that will forever haunt the soil of Sarajevo.
