Hey! How are you? Lovely to meet you

- I love art, music, culture, and writing!
- I am always up for a hike
- I like trying strange things, meeting locals and other travellers. I am very adventurous!
- I have travelled a lot in my life, even though I am only 22! My family and my childhood have always been international.

- Currently studying in Beijing, but I grew up in London and lived in Oxford, as well as on the road before.

- I studied politics, philosophy, and economics in my BA. Now I'm studying an MA in international relations, with a focus on renewable energy and sustainable development

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked across the Himalaya for a month

Teach, Learn, Share

Try things twice

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love a good debate, and talking about intellectual topics. I have pretty good general knowledge, so I can talk about almost any subject.

I'm also happy to cook or help with chores
I can teach you a bit of Chinese!
I can be good company if you want to go on a fun adventure!
I love to paint and draw, if you'd like to do something together. I'm more into abstract and expressive stuff rather than realism
