About Me

Hey there!

I like to explore places outside of the usual tourist spots, where you can see and learn what life is really like for the locals (though I do still enjoy visiting the usual points).

I enjoy discussing and learning about a wide range of topics, from graphic design to agriculture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet local people around the world, share our life and experiences, and hopefully make a few friends along the way!

Interests

🥾 Hiking , though I've only done moderately short ones (2 - 3 hrs), I'm keen to try anything that has a good view or unique places to see.

🎲 Board games, always up to try something new, couple of my favourites are Catan and Sequence.

🎹 Music, I play piano and a bit of guitar

Music, Movies, and Books

🎵 I listen to a variety but have found myself listening to indie and jazz more these days.

🎬 Lion, The Creator, Soul, Shoplifters (万引き家族), Dying to Survive (我不是药神), Mamoru Hosoda & Ghibli films.

📖 Switched On (John Elder Robinson), The Laws of Magic (Michael Pryor)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completed a solo road trip around the east coast of Australia 🦘, from Adelaide to Cape Tribulation and back (over 10,000km).
