CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Born in Malaysia, grew up in New Zealand, stayed for a few years in Taipei, and now living in London. I'm a pretty massive nerd (haha) and love my phone, computers and video games. I also like food, travelling / discovering new things, living like a local, hiking and the outdoors, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

This isn't really a philosophy - but I don't really like repeating meals in a row, as in if I had italian for lunch, I would very much prefer not to have Italian for dinner, Take from that what you will, maybe I'm just OCD

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Together we can make the world a smaller and friendlier place!

Interests

local / unique / interesting foods, the LHC, sunsets, music of all kinds, composition, how does hair dye work anyway, board games, Windows Phone (and the Metro design language), speaking of metro I have a bizarre fondness for Public Transport route maps and metro maps, did I already mention food? Motorcycles (I used to ride a Kawasaki Ninja 250 and miss it dearly), karaoke, Chinese literacy and etymology (like the best character ever, 龜)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Mount Kinabalu to view the breaking sunset (I use the word climbing lightly, it was more like a hike) Also, the old grandmothers who also managed to do the same thing in no way detract from my amazing achievement :P

Teach, Learn, Share

Ha! Maybe I can teach you how to google properly, I am told I have the magic search touch, or programming / techy things. I know quite a bit about Taiwan / Taipei, and rudimentary Chinese (traditional).
