ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Tracy and I'm 31, born and bred in Hong Kong, then spent half my life in Australia (Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide). Usually I work as a web designer but a year ago I decided to let go of everything to embark on a working holiday in France and UK. A much needed change in my life that helps me learn about the person that I am and appreciate what's at home and around the world. Now my year in Paris has come to a close and it is London Calling. Albeit during this time life's been a bit*h at times, I haven't regretted a single moment of this.

I love food and music and they're both great ways into other cultures while traveling. The best way to see a place would be asking locals on where to go, what to eat, what to see, what to listen. Any local tips would be much appreciated.

PHILOSOPHY

A few things that I live by:
- The more you see, the more you learn.
- Everyone's got their side of the story, you will always learn something by asking and listening.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've heard of Couchsurfing for a long time but haven't got a chance to participate until now. I'd like to get at taste of this so I can look into hosting when I'm home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm very new to couchsurfing. I'll get back to this once I found a few first hosts :)

Interests

Music, cooking, food (good food makes me smile! Even better to share with friends!), wine, dancing (salsa & zouk). I'm also learning French at the moment so I'm keen to practice!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
You can find out what I listen to here http://www.last.fm/user/holborner
My all time favourites are Depeche Mode, Trentemøller, Rufus Wainwright. I've been listening to a lot of Stromae at the moment. I also like live music, especially jazz.

TV/Movies
I like series like Breaking Bad, IT Crowd, Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, Family Guy and The Wire. I like mostly drama and documentaries, and movies that make you think. I like Quentin Tarantino's movies too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trying going to the beach at night when you can. It's quiet. Watching the stars while floating in the ocean is amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a good enough cook (see evidence here http://instagram.com/holborner ). Plus a generous, uplifting spirit that would light up any home :)
