About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To eventually own my adventure travel company in a developing country and use the profit to build schools, clinics, sport facilities for the locals.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy mountain sports: climbing, walking, mountain biking, skiing. Basically, I'm quite sporty but not competitive though. I'm also equally at home with cooking especially Chinese for friends. I like watching films and surfing the internet. Love to think (maybe daydreaming) a lot. Cool on the outside but a soft heart on the inside. Always love to help and honest to people.
Got married in 2015 and had a cute little baby girl in 2017.

PHILOSOPHY

To help people experience the love of God.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted fair a few people in Llanberis where I used to live before getting married and moving to Llandudno. I do surf other people's couch every now and then when I travel. Usually couchsurf by myself but sometimes maybe with wife and maybe with baby in the future months.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was 2 hosts I stayed in Austria during an ice climbing trip with 3 other friends in 2010. The hosts were brilliant. My friends and I enjoyed the host's company. So did they. It's such a great project to be part of.
