Well, I spend most of my time hunched over a book...

I've recently completed my MA and I'm now applying to for PhD! Other than that, I love to explore new places, such as travelling or finding new hiking trails to undertake with my Dad~ I also like reading in parks, or just having a coffee with my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I've never had the opportunity to host someone, I greatly appreciate those who have hosted me. It has always been a wonderful experience to meet new people, especially locals who have many stories to tell and are eager to show me around their hometown.

Interests

Travelling!I hope one day to take the train from Ho Chi Minh City to London with my friend~ visit Japan~ and do a road trip through California with my Dad~

Jazz bars~ My dream is to visit the late Ryo Fukui's jazz club, called Slowboat, in Sapporo, Japan.

Reading~

Walking in parks~ Sydney has a plethora of national parks within and on the outskirts of the city.

Cooking~ I love cooking for people and learning new recipes from people I meet.
