About Me

PLEASE READ MY HOME SECTION. My place is not for everyone so please make sure it works for you before sending a request.

I love to travel as often as I can. Nothing is more exciting to me than seeing a place for the first time.

I have hosted many people from all over the world. If I can't be traveling myself I love to be surrounded by other travelers to soak up the vibe!

If you're in Sydney, I love to meet new people, especially those who share interests or are keen to experience new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make friends from around the world mainly, I love great company!

Music, Movies, and Books

Very wide range of music from many eras, depends on the mood. If we're having a drink I'll probably like to have some chill out music in the background.

I like artsy kind of movies, dramas in particular, and find foreign films are a great way to experience some other parts of the world without leaving the house.

I tend to like history books and non-fiction, I find the world has so many fascinating elements before even delving into fiction

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Help a homeless guy secure a home
- Walked on the Great Wall of China
- Lived through the largest recorded earthquake in Japan (and the world)

Teach, Learn, Share

Love practising my French and Mandarin skills if you can forgive my pronunciation, please understand my knowledge is basic.

Great to experience an awesome view with other people and also just to chill out with a beer or coffee and have long conversations about the world. I can offer a chat about pretty much anything :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My home! My food, stories, lifestyle and some of my time (I work full time), knowledge of Sydney/Australia/Asia.

I do ask that if you confirm your staying and your plans change, let me know. Hosts rearrange their time and plans in order to receive surfers and it's rude to do a no-show 🤨🤨.
