I'm a PhD student in bamboo forestry at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything about China, lots of other stuff too :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took the train from the UK to China, couchsurfed along the way, and had adventures across the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning about things, especially things that I don't already know about. I can help with language training and give you tips on living in China, development stuff etc. If you know about bicycles, please message me. I don't and wish I did.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I share a small flat with my boyfriend, we have a big air mattress and a comfortable sofa. We like to cook although I am not very good and have millions of different types of soy sauce and dried chili peppers in my house. Or we can go out to eat! There is also usually various different types of strong spirits to drink and people are always welcome to use the washing machine. We don't have any meat, eggs or dairy products in the house and would prefer you don't bring any in.

We have a small and lovely dog and the apartment is small - he is very chill but if you are uncomfortable/allergic, it might be best to stay elsewhere.
