I'm a MA student in Shanghai visiting Australia while China is plagued with the Corona virus.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just looking for a place to stay and meet interesting people with diverse backgrounds.

Interests

I have an extremely wide range of interests. I've been into sports and academia since I've been a kid and at some point in my life I realized I'd rather use my brain to earn a living than do manual labor, that's why I already have a MA in International Law with two more coming in the next few months (I know it's a bit weird).
I used to do dancing, swim and play tennis semi-pro. Currently I mostly lift weights and do yoga since I don't really have much time for other sports.
My main interests are politics and diplomacy, hence my desire to become a diplomat, and further on, the president of my country in the future.
I have a BA in China studies, which makes me an expert on anything related to China (still looking for proper methods of monetizing this knowledge)
I love cooking, I think it all began with the culinary shows I've been watching since I was like 10, I was very much inspired my Jamey Oliver and Gordon Ramsey.
You could say I like traveling, I've been to 6 countries in the last 30+ days.

Music, Movies, and Books

Metal, Hip-hop, Rap, Techno. I'm generally into everything, don't really discriminate music by genre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Translated an interrogation at a police station from Mandarin to Ukrainian.

I think my MA thesis is pretty amazing.

I can distinguish between six levels of spiciness.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you languages, how to cook, why authoritarian regimes are not necessarily evil.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you around the house, cook some food, teach you yoga and fitness routines.
