I was born in Canada, grew up in Hong Kong, studied and worked in UK. My friends and colleagues would describe me as a friendly, relaxed person. I love animals, dogs are my absolutely favourite, I adore them. But I always love wild animals, I've been to Africa twice for safari trips. Once on land and once in the sea.

I used to be a civil engineer, but I quit my job in Dec 2017. Since then, I have been travelling around Latin America solo while practicing my Spanish.

I am an outdoor enthusiast, I love all outdoor activities but scuba diving and surfing are my favourites. I also used to play a lot of football before the trip.

When I'm not doing outdoor activities, I enjoy reading, I find them better than movies. But I also enjoy Netflix too :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love travelling and being immersed with locals is a great way to understand the culture. Also a great way to improve my Spanish while in Latin America
