About Me

Graduated from law school and currently working on becoming a barrister. Afraid not, I do not possess any characteristics that a typical lawyer might have, I am chilled and fun-loving. (I hope, at least lol)

I often describe myself as a combination of extrovert and introvert as I can be very outgoing while enjoying being alone. Therefore I could adapt to whatever living requirement the host may have, if you want to hang out, I will always be down for it; and if you want me to mind my own business, fret now, I'll happily entertain myself.

I think I can say that I travelled extensively for someone of my age. So I have been told that I am very mature (though I might have a baby face). I have a huge interest in international politics and also human rights issues. These are the reasons that drove me into studying law. Although I might end up being a boring corporate lawyer for the sake of surviving life.

Anyway, I am really bad in describing myself, so you'll get to know me better if you decide to host me (which you wouldn't regret). *wink*

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a student, and love to travel, therefore these two combinations have led to me being here to look for a direct way to experience the country i'm visiting to and I love making friends regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation etc. Couchsurfing is a good way to make local friends and this is why I am here. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- mostly indie and alternatives. Kodaline, Rachael Yamagata, Sigur Ros, Ben Howard, Damien Rice, Ed Sheeran and a lot more. EDM when the right mood strikes. ;)
Movies- romance comedies, this is what I always tell my friends when it comes to my movie choices: "life is hard enough and there is no need to use brain when you're trying to relax yourself." if you get it lol.
Books- I used to love reading books but now my life is pretty much stuck with law related books. :/

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not too sure if I've done anything amazing things but I certainly have a lot of interesting stories to share.

WAIT, I have been on a local Japanese tv news before, being interviewed as a foreign student who studies in Japan. I was interviewed and featured on local newspapers when I was in high school.

And I've just recently seen Pope Francis in real person in Vatican City.

Teach, Learn, Share

Willing to learn, willing to teach and willing to share. I love to engage in an intellectual conversation, human rights really get me going.
