ABOUT ME
My name's Jo. I'm a banana - occidental behaving yellow skin vagabond. Born in Malaysia, grew up an Australian, stayed in many places, now living in France. I eat mostly avocados and music. I grew up in a Chinese household that spoke mainly english. I get by in France by imitating Frenchy sounds. It's pretty easy to pretend being Japanese with a few words, but I would love to pick up some Spanish ;)

I think I'm pretty good at random cooking. I can make a great meal out of a banana and a few pieces of bread. I'm pretty good at pretending to play the ukulele, guitar and piano.

PHILOSOPHY
Be nice!
