About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Road trip from Boston to Omaha and Back on 26 April 2011!

ABOUT ME

Hi!
Thank you for reading my profile.
I'm 27 and currently living island life in sunny Cyprus.

I came here after some years of studying and working in Sydney, Australia which is where I grew up. My parents are Chinese so I speak Mandarin fluently and can mutter a couple of words in Japanese after having spent a short stint in Japan.

At the end of this April, I will be flying 5,500 miles from Cyprus to Boston, and drive another 1,500 miles to Omaha to listen to one man - Warren Buffett - speak.

It's crazy - I know - but what to do? haha

I'll be Couchsurfing along the way on my road trip and looking forward to meet some of you awesome people along the way. I made some lifelong friends this way last year in the USA and definitely keen on doing it again!

The road trip will go something like this:
Boston
Syracuse
Cleveland
Angola (?)
Chicago
Omaha

I haven't quite figured out the route back but if you have any suggestions for where I should stop, I'm all ears!!

I will be bringing a sleeping bag so I can sleep on the floor if need be ;))

I don't smoke but certainly don't mind smokers. Generally - I'm friendly, loyal, like talking to everyone and generally get along with most people, if I can say so myself. If you give a chance to get to know me, you'll see ;)
