I consider myself to be a very happy and mindful person. :)
I like studying Chinese, reading and music. I currently live in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. I have a laid-back lifestyle here, which I love. I learn Chinese every morning for two hours, then cycle to my job as an English teacher.
When I have spare time I like meeting friends for language exchange. I also enjoy reading, keeping fit, playing guitar and meditation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I only got into the couchsurfing community when I first arrived in Taiwan. But I quickly found it to be the best way to meet friendly people and get to know a city.
I feel that I am naturally and introverted person. But, paradoxically, if I spend too much time on my own I am prone to existential crises.
Couchsurfing is a great community for people like me because it makes it that bit easier to get out there and try new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like so much music. I love The Smiths and The Stone Roses and pretty much anything to come out of Manchester. Lately, I've been listening to Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars, which is completely different but great.
Recently, I've been reading books about mindfulness and life purpose. I love fiction, as well, though. Literature was my major.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a boxing match in a bar in South China. I got knocked out with concussion in the third round. It was fun though!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you want to learn or practice English, I can help with that. I'm also a good listener and enjoy having conversations. If you put a guitar in my hand, I will play it and sing for you.
