About Me

I'm a Scottish-Chinese video artist (I like to tackle all types of video-related concentrations, such as editing, motion graphics, 3D animation, etc).

I truly enjoy traveling the world. I've lived long-term in Edinburgh, Chicago and New York City. Worked as an adjunct college lecturer for a few years; now looking for career opportunities in East Asia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find being on CS is a bit more interesting than just diving into a new country alone. Looking for an opportunity to meet others and have meaningful connections.

Interests

I love going to art shows, museums, and film screenings. I'm also VERY adventurous when it comes to food, so looking to try all new cuisines.

Teach, Learn, Share

Interested in language exchange - would love to learn Chinese. And I can offer to teach English to you, as well as videomaking programs (Premiere Pro and After Effects).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, so I would be looking to make a meal for my host (that is also mindful of your dietary lifestyle)!
