I love to travel, take photos/videos and tell stories. I love discovering new music and foods - despite being hopeless at creating either myself. I'm always interested in crafts and traditions and love to capture these, and show them to friends and family.

I've had the privilege to live across Asia, Europe, Africa and the Pacific Islands. I've been a fish farmer, a shipping salesman, an English teacher (briefly and unsuccessfully) and now am involved in digital transformation.

Curious to learn about different belief systems, meditation and outlooks on life. I studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics and like to continuously learn about these subjects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Likeminded network across the world who understand that people are the most important part of travel. Finding the right person in a place can unlock amazing experiences and far better understanding than any amount of research.
