About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To speak fluent Chinese!
ABOUT ME
I taught English in China for a year after high school and fell in love with the country and the travelling lifestyle. Now I'm back to study and to do and see much more. I like to learn things and do try to study hard, but I have such a short attention span. I hate staying in the house all day. I love trying new things. i like home-cooked food. I like a chilled night in and a wild night out. I have to keep busy, I can sleep when I'm dead.
PHILOSOPHY
Do what makes you happy.
Be excellent to each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I don't know about "amazing". I'm pretty chuffed with what I've done so far in my 20 years.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm not sure what I can teach people. I can teach Scottish country dancing to anyone who wants to go to a Ceilidh dance. I can bake. I can swear in many languages. Can teach you a bit of beginners Chinese.
Want to learn Chinese. Want to try new sports. Want to learn a bit about everything.
