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.

Music, Movies, and Books

Have read a lot of stuff about Chinese and Asian history and culture lately. Want to read more!

Movies: Harry Potter :), Inception, The Hangover, Up, Lost in Translation. Little miss sunshine. The Prestige. Forrest Gump. Saving Private Ryan. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Anything with Seth Rogan or Jonah Hill.

Music: Indie and alternative. A bit of Sigur Ros and Bon Iver. Still like dancing to the chart stuff.

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.
