I was born in Taiwan, then moved to New Zealand when I was six. After University (History, Japanese), I worked in Japan as an English teacher for a few years; after that, I went to Germany to do a Masters (Transcultural Studies). When I finished that, I came to the Netherlands and recently finished a research project on North Korea. I know, it's pretty convoluted.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people!

Интересы

There are quite a few things I can talk endlessly about: history, culture, writing, video games, languages, cooking... I've been told I'm a natural professor, so if you don't stop me, I'm liable to go on forever.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I began 2016 on an island of 600 people in Okinawa, where I spent my time herding goats and snorkelling with sea turtles, and I ended it as a Masters student in the other side of the world in Heidelberg, Germany.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I'm curious about people, and always happy to learn about them. I'm quite happy to teach any of the languages I know, or history, or culture, or just share great stories and good times!
