About Me

Hi guys,
I've just moved to Beijing and will be spending 1 to 2 years here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The whole concept of couchsurfing is amazing. Interesting people, sharing ideas, breaking boundaries and connecting. Amazing that you can experience all that in a new place too. My first experience couchsurfing was in 2014 - I spent 2 months couchsurfing in China - it was unbelievable.

Interests

Languages, travelling, new experiences, I guess the same as most people on here.
I love to cook. I waste a lot of time cooking when I should be doing "productive" things.
Philosophy. I don't read as much as I'd like to, and I all too easily start conversations that don't really have an ending.
Always up for a game of table tennis.

Music, Movies, and Books

Where do you start here? I quite like psychological thrillers. Hopefully that doesn't sound pretentious...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to a place called Seda (色达) in Western Sichuan, China. 40,000 monks live there. SO MANY MONKS.

Teach, Learn, Share

Things I can share and would like to learn more about: Languages, Cooking, Philosophy, life, I don't know!

I'd love to challenge and debate the ideas you have... Not to persuade you to think something else, but just to try and help you see things from another perspective.
