Been living in China for a couple of years and will stay for a while longer to study. Work in wildlife conservation and poverty alleviation. Passionate (but bad) rock climber and road biker. Love travelling and have been to around 50 countries with work, study and backpacking, lived on three continents and hope to maintain the nomadic lifestyle.

Important. If your plans change please be polite enough to tell me as soon as you know. Plans change but last minute cancellations are getting annoying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling shows me again and again there are generous folk out there who are willing to share time and resources to help strangers, I enjoy being a part of this on both sides.

If your plans are tentative and likely to change please let me know when you request to stay.
