About Me

Hello there!
I was born in Kuala Lumpur, grew up in Sydney and Port Moresby, then lived and worked in the UK for many years. I live in Hong Kong now.

I love the outdoors, singing, most forms of exercise, and collecting retro wrist-watches.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My trail running friends in Hong Kong suggested I join the Couchsurf community, as I'm looking to meet people in new cities for great conversation, and if I'm lucky, new friends.

After 12 years working in the TV and telecom industry, I'm taking a career break. My mind is wide open, and I'd love to share and reflect on these experiences with other broad minded people.
