I hate this kind of exercise, but yeah if I had to say something about myself it would be the general stuff- I'm fun (or perhaps not :S- I guess you'd have to ask my friends for verification) , open-minded, quite spontaneous but within a general framework of organization and love a challenge. I am unapologetically geeky (i.e. quite academic- I like learning stuff in general). I like going out and doing things (as opposed to staying at home), trying new things. I love to cook, dance (ballet, salsa...), but am not really a party animal. Very low maintenance and undemanding. I really can't be bothered writing much more about myself, but please don't be put off- please host me :D! I suppose that makes me sound desperate... (!)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've been travelling a lot and have had the most fun when I;ve been shown around by friends/ met interesting people along the way. Travelling is kind of empty without the cool random/spontaneous happenstances. I think couch surfing is a good way to avoid the overly trodden tourist trail (hypocritically I hate areas that are frequented by tourists)

兴趣

Reading (novels, history, any subject...)
Medicine
Travelling
Ballet (dancing, watching)
Salsa
Cryptic crosswords (though I'm terribly out of practice)
Long, meandering walks
Good conversations (so cliche, I know)
Live music
Indie movies
I hate watching TV- I've completely lost patience for it over the years. Am totally out of the loop in terms of the latest TV series

音乐、电影和书籍

World music (especially South American- salsa, bachata, bossa nova, tango..., flamenco, African, including Naijapop)
Norah Jones, John Mayer, Alicia Keys, Bob Marley, Rae Morris, Bonobo, Odesza
Coldplay, Red Hot Chilli Peppers
I love the song, Trap Queen (how cool am I?)
Chopin, Rachmaninov, Erik Satie
Acoustic Spanish guitar music
Lady Gaga
A bit of cheesy Bollywood
Basically the only things I really can't stand are 80s (shoot me now, please), trance/house music (I suppose that means I'll never make it to 'hipsterdom' T_T), heavy metal. I'll even tolerate Taylor Swift/ Ariana Grande (Shake it off, shake it off !).

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Broke my ankle, really badly! I guess it's not that amazing, but it's all I've got, I'm afraid. I'll show you a rather gory pic if you host me ;)
