About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see more of the world and realise how small I am, yet how much of a difference I can make

ABOUT ME

Quiet when I don't know you, then non-stop jabbering and nonsense once I do! Working off a shoestring budget as a student, but still doing my best to get out and see the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy, be good, and don't worry about things you can't do anything about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Campervanning with my girlfriend (Cheryl) in New Zealand (South Island) from June to July, and hoping to live with some hosts to experience more of the local life. Will be in Manila from late August onwards and would be glad to stay with locals in the various islands of Philippines too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't stayed with people I met via couchsurfing, but I've moved from couch to couch as a friend recommended me to her friend in 2010, who then recommended me to another friend, and so on. Was a great experience meeting new people!

Interests

Skating, Inline Hockey, most types of sports. I've tried or at least have some basic understanding for most kinds of sports, soccer, basketball, rugby, diving, archery, trekking & camping and other misc sports. but right now, my main focus is on skating, and I'd be glad to go skating with you, or teach you some basics if I'm given the chance. I'm not great at any sport, just interested and happy to learn a little. Terrible at music and art, but love to listen/see, even if I'm not arty.

sadly, I have close to no musical or artistic inclinations, but would love to learn more. I believe it's a great weakness the way I see the world.

Also, interested in many kinds of tech things - it boggles my mind how much technology can do nowadays

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Able to teach skating and inline hockey! Also, I'm interested in starting up an e-commerce business in time, so I'd love to learn/share from people with experience. Can also help with android phones - I've revived/given new life to several phones for friends/family
