Hello!

I am a translator and muck-abouter living in Shanghai.

I love to talk about things in depth and think about the world, society and history, but I also like getting drunk and dancing round your living room. Above all I like spontaneous, genuine people.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I try to make everyone feel at home.

Je fais a manger aux affames!

Me gusta que todos esten a gusto, y tambien se cocinar y contar chistes malos.
