About Me

ABOUT ME

Hey! I'm doing a trip on the US east coast! Pretty spontaneous and random, just me and my backpack.

I am from England - well, straightly speaking I lived in Hongkong as a child, moved to England as a teen.

I love travelling and would love to travel as much as possible when I'm young and carefree. I have traveled in all 5 continents (barely!) and have a fair share of interesting travel stories to share!

I don't smoke and I drink reeeally little!

PHILOSOPHY

I haven't given this much thoughts frankly, I really should. Stay healthy and have a positive outlook on life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I'm looking for hosts! I hope to meet some new friends and share experiences. In return to your hospitality I'll be bringing a little gift from England!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had been couchsurfing in Italy before when I traveled with friends a few years back, it was a really good experience! I met some of the most awesome people and my hosts went out of their ways to help us!

Interests

I love food. I love to cook, mostly Asian food and Italian food. I'd use the word 'foodie' (without the negative connotations) to describe myself. If you are feeling adventurous, you can try my cooking!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies- I like a lot of thrillers, you name it, I've seen it most of the times. Charlie Kaufman screenplays. French art house movies. Tarantino. Leni Riefenstahl. Wong Ka Wai. To name a few.

Music- A mixed bag, I listen to a lot of indie and jazz. I really just like everything, from Red Hot Chilli Pepper to Maria Callas. With the exception of rap.

Books- I'm really into dystopian books for some reasons, like 1984 and Brave New World, to name a few. I read mostly business books these days, like marketing/economics etc, if you are interested. I have a keen interest in art and design too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Inca trail in Peru.
Aurora in Sweden.
The Dead Sea in Israel.
Surfing in Hawaii.

One of my dreams is to visit the Galapagos Islands!
