Overview
About Me
I love to travel - surprise! - and have travelled a lot of Australia and Asia. I'm Eurasian (Western and Asian mix), born in Australia. I love Australia and the countries I've been to. The landscapes and cultures are fantastic to see.
I love nature and feel most at peace amongst it, where time goes slow and sometimes stands still.
My philosophy:
Be kind to people and nature. Believe in karma. Strive to be the best and strive to be grateful always. Eat good food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Survived a month in rural India during the pre-summer monsoon season. I was hospitalised for dehydration but that's now part of the fun memories. In the hospital they didn't speak English and the nurses wore old-school uniforms with little caps. It was such a terrible experience physically, but now a highlight! It was so memorable.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: Can help with the English language.
Learn: I enjoy learning just about everything.
Share: Australian culture, and a little bit of Singapore's as I'm half Singaporean.
Info about living or travelling around Australia. I naturally research a lot so I should be able to provide good advise on a budget or give tips. In particular I've travelled most of the East Coast of Australia and have been to all the capital cities except Perth.
What I Can Share with Hosts
If there is anything I can offer I would be happy to. When I go back to Australia, if you visit I will do what I can to accommodate you. While traveling I don't have a home!
