About me

I was born in Hong Kong, before the handover (hence me not speaking any Cantonese) but I've since made up for my lack of Chinese know-how by learning French and Spanish at school, and then moving onto a degree in Spanish, Russian and Portuguese in England. I hate to sit still and tend to up and move once every couple of years. So far I've lived in Brazil, Spain, China, Chile and I'm moving to either Portugal or Russia in a month, I haven't decided which yet...

Why I travel

It's the best thing to do

Travel style

Speaking as little English as possible. You've got to do the local thing...

Before I die I'd like to

Find a way to travel that doesn't ruin the environment

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when

After learning all the local slang and being able to use it!

Let's collaborate

I've written for CNN (www.ac360.com), The Santiago Times, Revolver Magazine (Santiago), HK Mag and Candela Live but I would love to write for this site because it is so funny and the articles are on such interesting and diverse topics.
