About Me

As someone who is always looking for their next adventure, you can always depend on me to do all sorts of crazy things!

Keen as ever to explore the world, I am also fascinated by people. I love to get to know someone, and learn about their passions and motivations in life.

Currently I am unable to host anyone just yet as I don't have a place available. But am happy to meet up if I have the time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After hearing about Couchsurfing from my friends, I fell in love with the concept. Opening up our homes to other travellers and sharing stories and experiences is something I'm passionate about. I hope to be able to meet more like-minded people like you!

I'm a relatively new couchsurfer but I am very well-mannered and love to help out whenever I can!

Interests

Some of which include trekking, bushwalking, reading, tennis, learning languages, learning about different cultures, helping people, cultural anthropology, trying new things, travelling around the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: R&B, Hip-Hop, Trance, House, and mainstream music too. But I'm pretty open-minded, and am happy to be introduced to some of the music you like too! I used to play the piano and am really sad that I haven't really played since high school. I hope to pick it up again this year! I also would love to learn to play a Chinese flute instrument called 'xiao'. It has a beautiful melodic sound that is sweet yet can evoke many emotions.

Movies: too many to count. Generally action, thriller, comedy, and based on true story movies. I actually don't watch as many movies as I would like to because I prefer TV shows! My favourites include Suits, Orange is the New Black, Orphan Black, Friends, How to get away with murder...

Books: I don't have one favourite book, but genres include Crime/Thriller, Literary Fiction, Science Fiction, Biographies. I am actually a really slow reader, which annoys me. Despite having studied law (with the copious amounts of reading I had to do), I still read slower than a child. One day I hope to be able to read faster than one page a minute haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Graduated from uni (my biggest achievement yet)
Hitchhiked my way around Taiwan
Gained a basic grasp of Mandarin over a 3 week period
Managed to finish 11 courses in 2 semesters (usual load is 8)
Ate a fried tarantula and drank spider tequila in Cambodia (I absolutely HATE spiders)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach people about my culture (Australian and Chinese) and languages I know.

As well, I love to learn about other people's culture and language

I like to share my experiences in life and what I've learnt. People who meet me for the first time are surprised by my age, because I'm more mature than I look. I don't know how I should take that, but I do see it as a compliment!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Me, myself and I :) I'm an open person and love to engage in discussions about anything! You can trust that I'll always have a smile on my face! I have a wide interest base - I am a great listener, and as long as you are passionate about what you are talking about!
