Hi, I'm Josh from Australia/Taiwan. I was born in Canberra, Australia, but grew up in Hong Kong and Taiwan for most of my life. I'm now back in Australia studying Software Engineering in University of Melbourne.

Due to the fact that I have assimilated deeply into both Taiwanese and Australian societies, I am really familiar with both Western and East Asian cultures, languages, international relations and literature.

I'm a person with quite a wide range of interests and I'm always down for new experience. I would call myself a history and language geek. I like learning languages, museums, traveling, history, fitness, photography, basketball and I play guitar a bit. (not that I'm good or anything). I speak fluent English, Manderin Chinese, Taiwanese and Cantonese.
