About Me

I try to take any opportunity I can to go travelling! I enjoy meeting international people and hearing their stories. I really like Asian culture. Yolo!

저는 호주 사람이는데 런던에서 살고 일해요. 작년에 왔어요. 4년 동안 언어 엑스챈지로 한국어 배웠어요. 한국 문화 좋아하고 한국 친구 많이 생겼고 더 배우고싶어요 ㅋㅋ 런던 가면 저랑 만나고 같이 관광 할 수 있어요!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Great idea. Transformed my travelling experience in some countries.

When I was living in Melbourne, I hosted surfers and I like to hang out with my couchsurfers and show them around Melbourne. Met some great people. Hosted people from Denmark, Japan, Korea and Germany. Surfed in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and New Zealand. Again, met some great people!

Music, Movies, and Books

Action/adventure movies, thriller, comedy and animations, foreign films. Anything except horror, really.
To name a few movies... Forrest Gump, The Bourne Trilogy, Pixar animations.
All sorts of music, these days I'm really into electronic dance music.
On the other hand I was also a classical pianist and violinist so I appreciate a lot of classical music.
