CURRENT MISSION

Cultivating a state of mind

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveller and couch surfer at heart. I recently had a blast couch surfing in Asia, and now I'm back home in my home town of Melbourne.

I'm a lot of other things too. Find out for yourself!

PHILOSOPHY

This is a toughie..

I'm really just in it for the experience. And there's no better way to accumulate experience than by meeting people who live locally in a place. Making happy memories. Having no regrets!

And keeping cosmological perspective... as well as I can.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a lot in Asia, for nearly 6 months straight. It was the best. Now I'm back home, hoping to meet up with travellers... cos it's always fun :)

Sometimes I go to the beach south-west of Melbourne, if you're around you can come too. It's beautiful down there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Extensive surfing experience in Japan & South Korea, a little in Taiwan, Malaysia and Indonesia. Everyone is so nice!

Now I have some experience hosting surfers and events here in Melbourne :)

音乐、电影和书籍

I'm into a wide variety of music. My roots are in Jazz but I have branched out into anything else I find interesting. Interesting, or just that sounds really good. Not much pop. I guess mainly instrumental music (without vocals) seems to be what I enjoy most. But I'm pretty open minded! Lately been getting into late 70s/early 80s British New Wave (which is completely the opposite of what I said I'm mainly into haha).

I like lots of different types of movies - from documetaries, to action, to comedies and classics. I especially like lesser known art films, such as those which came out of the French New wave (Breathless for eg).

I like to read older books as well. Mid-late twentieth century novels seem to be what I find myself reading mainly. I recently read a collection of short stories by Kurt Vonnegut which was AWESOME.

But also practical books, like books about tying knots! And about how to navigate the night sky!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Spent a week in the remote Laotian Jungle, staying in tree houses. The only way in and out was via zip lines (awesome). And all as a means for raising money for habitat preservation for gibbons and their ecosystem. Pretty rad.

教，学，和分享

I like to talk about science, and the cosmos, life on Earth...and I'd like to share opinions and experiences regarding these things, and anything else.. and I really wanna improve on my Japanese language skills!
