Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Exploring the developing world to meet amazing people and learn about the solutions helping the poor.
ABOUT ME
Right now I'm living the dream.
I left my Hong Kong corporate banking job 5 months ago to undertake an 18-month journey around the world, focusing on Asia, Africa and South America. Since then, I've experienced many breathtaking moments that will define me for years to come.
In addition to traveling to 'breathe the air of the world', I'm also on a journey to explore social entrepreneurship. My interest in microfinance and social innovation led me to Bangladesh, where I spent two months studying social businesses. I also worked with a local partner to deliver independent projects in the villages and slums.
In short, I'm traveling the world to see where changes are needed, to meet changemakers, and to get involved where possible!
PHILOSOPHY
I live by the philosophy of people over money. I feel that my value come from my upbringing and the people that I've shared my life with, as opposed to how much money I make or what watch I wear.
Having spent most of my life in multicultural environments, I see all people as brothers and sisters. While I'm always interested in the cultural or personal differences that make everyone unique, I also think there is a common humanity in everyone that makes something like CouchSurfing possible.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Being new to CouchSurfing, I'm looking forward to my first experience!
Interests
I'm very passionate about music and the effects it has on people. I play a few instruments and I also love to sing and dance...though not very well!
I'm also a student of the martial arts, having practiced various 'forms' throughout my life. I believe that the martial arts can teach discipline, physical fitness and harmony with oneself.
I love to read all types of books, and also love to have discussions on any and every topic under the sun!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love hip hop, especially the golden era of the 90's. Hip hop has led me to many other types of music: soul, jazz, swing, dubstep, latin music. I'm also a big fan of reggae and Bob Marley in particular. At the end of the day anything with a beat is good for me (except when I'm meditating!)
Having grown up on a steady diet of Hollywood and HK kung fu / action films, I've since expanded my horizons to quality films of most any genre from any country. I love everything from comedy movies to gangster / cop movies, just no horror.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Watching the sunrise over the Annapurna mountain range in Nepal was an incredible and spiritual moment, one that I'll never forget.
The first glimpse of the ancient city of Petra in Jordan was a breathtaking view, after the anticipation of walking through a winding, narrow rock corridor.
Having lived in the Northern Hemisphere my whole life, I was held in complete awe as I looked up to the perfectly clear skies while camping in the Western Cape of South Africa, and seeing all the stars of the Milky Way galaxy overhead.
