About Me

I believe in trying everything at least once. That's how I got into couchsurfing. I've never looked back.

I was born in Hong Kong but raised in Australia - giving me the best of both worlds. Currently based in San Francisco. Always looking to meet new people and checking out something new. If you're in town, would love to grab a bite and if I'm in your place I'd love to surf or meet and share!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travelled CS-style December 2010 for a month all over Europe - it's an experience that I've encouraged everyone to get involved in because it was so unforgettable. I met incredible people who I'm still in touch with to this day - it's really restored my faith in humanity with all the friendly people who are willing to take you around and show you their culture. It's also been the best opportunity to look beyond where you've grown up. Always looking for my next CS opportunity or meeting like-minded people from this community.

Not sure if you should try out couchsurfing? Send me a message - I'd love to convince you!

Interests

Scuba Diving, Photography, Design, Food, Languages, Health, Travel (of course!), Social Media, Musicals, Volleyball, Tennis, Golf, Squash, Krav Maga, Parkour

But really? I'm interested in everything! I just haven't had the time! I want to be able to meet as many people as I can from all over the world and learn about what they do and their experiences. I've grown up in quite a conservative environment and now all I want to do is break away from normal life and actually experience and enjoy life!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Not big on the word 'favourite' but here are some books I've read lately. I read anything related to the evolving digital and social space but love diving into fiction typically mysteries and thrillers. Movie-wise I watch most blockbusters but love horror movies - it's hard to find people to watch these with!

Colorless Tsukuru, 1Q84, Ice Station, The Racketeer
Delivering Happiness, The Lean Startup, The Tipping Point

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking around Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj in the winter when everything was frozen over. The snow was the most beautiful I've ever seen and it was definitely the most tranquil setting I've ever witnessed.

Scuba Diving. No matter where you dive, the experience of being underwater is awesome - favourite so far have been Raja Ampat and Lake Silfra!

Teach, Learn, Share

Always looking to learn new things, especially from the people I meet. I'm currently wrapping up my Rescue Diver certification and looking to get into freediving and surfing. Also love to keep learning more about photography - keeping up with it here: instagram.com/misteryeo

Happy to teach or share what I know and my experiences. The languages I speak or anything about social and digital media.
