About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cook every recipe I find until my pants explode and my credit card maxes out

ABOUT ME

My mantra in life is to live as a turtle, with your house on your back. That way, wherever you drop your bag is home. Travelling is my life's passion and I prone to enjoying a cold beer while discussing previous travels and new travel plans. I believe life is short so you should try everything at least once (but not the scorpions... they taste like plastic).

I like to think of myself as a relatively outgoing person who can get along with virtually anyone. I love making new friends and learning about different cultures.

At the moment, during the week I am studying Chinese Mandarin at University. I think my end goal of this is to possibly teach Chinese people how to scuba dive which is my other great passion in life.

PHILOSOPHY

If you can't recognise it, just eat it. If it looks like it will kill you, it probably will but drink it anyway. If they invite you, join them. If you can't understand a word, just agree, you never know where you will end up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a few couches and it has never been boring. Now that I have a decent size apartment, I am keen to host some people and hear their travel stories.
