Hi, I am a brand growth consultant. I like to get up to do sports before breakfast and spent an extended morning to write. I have a degree in film and an MBA in strategy development. Most of my professional time has been in China, where I partner in a brewery.

I enjoy an active lifestyle, to get out and about to explore food and wine. Art galleries and museums are always worth a visit to me. I enjoy getting into deep conversations about most topics concerning environmental issues, energy, politics, space exploration, novels, red wine. I would like to call myself a civilized and cultured person. I enjoy to work out doing Muay Thai and recently acroyoga.

Philosophising and bettering the world over one or two many bottles of wine is always welcome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always enjoyed exchange with like minded people who are local to the area. I like to get to know everyone, the culture, the language, the food and activities. It's very exciting for me to venture out into the city or hike the countryside. Tell me what the rules and schedules are and I'll be sure to keep those up.
