Hola! My name is Ling and I'm from Melbourne, Australia. After finishing 7 years of university, I am now working in medical imaging/radiology.
I would describe myself as an easy going, energetic and bubbly person. Having done a fair bit of travelling myself, I want to give back to the CS community and try to aid future travellers that are coming to my amazing city of Melbourne! Unfortunately I cannot host, however, I can provide helpful tips and advice on things to do/see.

I love meeting new people, learning more about other people's cultures and pushing myself to get out of my comfort zone. I'm a really friendly and happy person and I'm hoping that by putting myself out there I can meet people who are the exact same!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Keen to meet new people, learn about other people's culture/language/way of life, get an authentic feel for the country by learning from a local :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Bunjee jumping! It was one of the most scariest moments of my life and I probably wouldn't do it again...but having said that, I'm glad I was able to tick it off my bucket list. I love a good adrenaline rush!

- Skydiving in Interlaken

- Venturing to the Artic Circle to Abisko, Sweden and hunting down the Northern Lights

- Climbing Volcan Acatanengo in Guatemala

(I know it said one, but I couldn’t resist!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, a little bit of Japanese (I have studied Japanese for 13 years). I also love cooking so I'm happy to bond with you over a home cooked meal or to just hang out. I also love karaoke, so if you like music and you like singing, I am definitely down for that!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Japanese, Australian slang, yoga, great conversation and an overall positive vibe ✌🏽
