One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode an electric scooter across China alone once, from Chengdu to Vietnam. Then in Hanoi bought a motorbike and rode it to the south of Vietnam. Definitely my most interesting trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning anything new. Maybe I can teach guitar?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travelling for now so not available to host, but later in the year I might be able to host people on a canal boat!
