Overview
About Me
Currently on an around-the-world journey to reach Australia, where I attend a wedding of my very first CouchSurfing host back in the 2012,. Hoping to connect with locals wherever I land.
I’ve traveled to 80+ countries and lived on every continent for work, which has taught me to adapt easily and appreciate different cultures and lifestyles.
I value experiences over things, and Couchsurfing feels like the perfect way to share stories, learn local perspectives, and discover places beyond the guidebooks.
I’m open-minded, respectful, and always curious to try what locals love — from food to hidden spots to everyday routines.
Looking forward to meeting kind hosts, sharing good conversations, and experiencing some of the most exotic couches on earth.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet new people in town, host surfers and make friends around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books
Independent movies. Business and travel literature. Music from soulful house to classic, from hip hop to jazz.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I recently published a book, ended up on a reality show, founded a startup, and moved to a country where I didn’t speak the language. Along the way, I learned to drive on chaotic Malaysian roads, signed up for a motorcycle course in Kenya, and even leapt off a 140-meter bridge just to see what it felt like to fly.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you travel hacks from 80+ countries, stories from living on all continents, plus tips on business, design, and finding the best rooftop bars.
Keen to learn about your local culture, food secrets, new phrases, and whatever makes your city unique — from hidden spots to nightlife.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Great conversation, respect, and curiosity. Always up for a walk, BBQ, beach day, or music-filled evening.
