Overview
About Me
ABOUT ME
Computer Science & Mathematics student at the University of Edinburgh. I love food, languages, mathematics, beer, whisky and some other stuff that you'll find out about if we get to know each other!
I spent the past year in Singapore and forgot to turn my profile off, so I got a ton of requests and my response rate dropped to 0%. But I'm back in Edinburgh now and I'll answer your requests.
我是一个在爱丁堡大学读数学和计算机科学的学生。我很喜欢吃饭,语言学(特别是学华语),还有我们互相认识的话你才会得知的事情!
我去年搬到了新加坡,忘了把我的Couchsurfing账户从“会做东”改变为"不会做东"。我回到英国的时候才发现了我的'回答比率'下降了到0%。其实我要尽量回答每个信息。
PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like showing people around Edinburgh, cooking for people, being cooked for and learning about languages. Couchsurfing is a pretty good means for all of those things.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favourite films are anything by Wes Anderson or Quentin Tarantino. Book-wise, I'm a huge fan of Franz Kafka and Kurt Vonnegut, and right now I'm on a Haruki Murakami binge. I'm also a huge fan of Charles Bukowski's poetry.
I like a lot of music, but hip hop is probably the closest to my heart; The Pharcyde, The Roots, Gang Starr, ATCQ, Mos Def, Nas, Chance the rapper. I can listen to anything though, from Icelandic post-rock to Japanese pajama pop.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was in the US, I walked into Chick-Fil-a and saw a lady pour 3 sachets of sugar into her coca cola.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love cooking, so maybe I could learn a thing or 2 about your country's cuisine! I'm really just interested in getting to know people, learning about your culture and your language would be a bonus.
So far I've also met a couple of surfers who were interested in applying to my university. Since application time is coming up, I'd be happy to help your with your application too.
Countries I’ve Lived In
Scotland, Singapore, South Korea
