I love traveling and meeting like-minded people from different cultures. Currently working as a astrophysics researcher based in Cambridge, UK, but the work is sponsored by an international organization which also allows me to travel around the globe sometimes.

Born in Asia, but has spent most of my adult life in North America. Now back to Europe the old continent as I like the lifestyle better here. Hoping to also explore a bit more of Middle East in the future

(Update: as of April 2024 I am not actively maintaining this profile. I am not accepting guest at the moment and only using this when I am traveling)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it seems a fun way to meet like minded people

Interests

I like to have various kind of conversations ranging from hard core philosophy to gossips about movie stars. I also like yoga, various team sports as well as dancing salsa, tango and flamenco. Music is a big part as well as I sing and play the accordion.

I am a big bookworm as well (who isn’t?). Currently into female authors from different countries and open to recommendations.

And of course, being a foodie! (Med food lovers let me see your hands :) )
