About Me

Long-time traveller (6years+), illustrator, jewellery maker, hitchhiker, organic gardener - food grower, dumpster diver, philosophy masters drop-out, burnt-out activist from Hong Kong, hula-hooper, WWOOFer, dreamer & doer :)

For a living, I handcraft jewelry and sell it on the road to support myself (aside from WWOOFing) Haven't got a picture of too much new stuff, but these old pics will give you an idea of what I make!

I´m a GREAT COOK :) yum yum yum!

I can also teach you how to do some pretty cool jewelry with wire and recycled materials to impress girl and boys alike, or some hulahoop tricks!

I´m also always happy to help do housework, help with gardening, walk the dog, do the cat litter, watch your kids and put on circus shows for your hamsters :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted as many couchsurfers as humanly possible in the short 6 months I had my own place in Australia.

I´ve couchsurfed so much through a network of friends over the years, but also done a bit through the actual CS site. But it`s been great every time!

Always good to see the give-and-take circle of life complete itself :)
