About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world safely.

ABOUT ME

Quite adventurous, genuine and helpful. I am working fulltime so I live for the weekends and annual leaves.

I love travelling and keeps a blog at www.ho-tak.com.

PHILOSOPHY

I am the result of the decisions I made - not the environment in which I find myself in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meet up in CS events. I live in Gallarate which is near Malpensa Airport and about 30mins from Milan by Suburban trains (5 Euros)

I have been to a couple of CS events in Berlin.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I host at weekends and I met a person who couchsurfed. I think that counts.

Interests

Travelling and interests in different languages. I work hard, play hard. I volunteered in Nepal, various events. Interests in cars, aeroplanes, and all things science related.

Music, Movies, and Books

Chill out music, too many to list really.

Books, my favourite is anything by bill bryson or haruki murakami.

Movies, I like movies which are easier to understand, like explosions and action.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

London 2012 Games Maker. Handing the water bottles to the Paralympic Marathon runners was the most humbling experience. I have to make the most of my time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn various languages around the world!

Oh, I can teach people how to make an origami paper Kangaroo!
