Born in Australia, to Malaysian parents, I've had the privilege of making my home in many different places, and meeting some beautiful people.

I'm currently living in leafy green Canberra (Australia's fine unknown capital) where I cycle along the lake every day and go wandering through the hills on the weekend.

I love to learn about food and cooking, wwoof, paint and sing (poorly, but enthusiastically), being around green spaces and having good chats with good people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see the inside of new places, and meet interesting people.

Interests

Plants and animals (I was a biologist in another life), wandering in green spaces, getting lost in new cities, social justice issues, paper cutting, cooking and learning about food and gardening.

Music, Movies, and Books

Watching Glee and the West Wing (because both are relentlessly cheerful)

Listening to the Paper Kites, the Preatures, magpies outside my window

Recorded the stories of Mozambican LGBTI individuals and communities, and seen that the love of friends and family conquers the worst adversity.
