About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to have as much fun as possible until I die

ABOUT ME

I used to live in London then left to South Africa and travelled to Kenya overland, then went back to London and then got bored there and got a one way flight to bangkok. I then got swept up in Vietnam for a few years before moving to Bangkok but I am now back in Hanoi temporarily. I love this part of the world and love meeting people from all over. I hope to travel more, having just spent 3 months in Tibet, Nepal and a bit of China. I'm now back in Hanoi and just quit my job and studying so although I have no couch I am free to meet for beers and tell you about this lovely city.

PHILOSOPHY

The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes... 'Marcel Proust'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Up for meeting people, can sometimes have people on couch so worth asking, if not then up for a drink or two. If not you can always check out my website which has cool things to see and do in Vietnam (its not finished yet but may help) http://vietnamlocaltraveltips.wordpress.com/
