Overview
About Me
They refer to me as being an 'ABC', Australian Born Chinese. So I have the best of both worlds in terms of growing up with Chinese culture from my parents in a Western country.
I really enjoy the unknown possibility of tomorrow and have been travelling with that lifestyle for the last year and a half. Within that I have done a working holiday at a ski resort in Victoria, Australia, backpacked around South East Asia for over 6 months, taught English in Taiwan, road tripped around around my home country and everything in between.
My interests include acroyoga, hiking, finding secluded spots in the great outdoors, music, languages, cooking and all different walks of life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Since being on the road I have met a wide variety of people and I love learning and growing from different kinds of people, so Couchsurfing is a great platform to interact with people.
Interests
Challenging my sense of direction and spatial awareness by stubbornly refusing using technology or maps to make my way around. Just challenging myself in general and pushing the boundaries of my physical and mental capabilities.
Forever learning and fueling my various passions in life.
