About Me

Sorry I'll be out of London from 22nd until October!
I'm also looking for travel buddies in Japan in August!

I love learning new languages and new culture by travelling to places that I have and haven't been to, basically anywhere I'm not living at.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel alone because I can meet new people from different part of the world. I wish to do that by hosting and also couchsurfing.

It's been about two months since I hosted my first guests and now I have hosted about 10 guests and I have to say Couchsurfing really is a good way to meet people from different countries/culture! I've learnt so much about different countries and want to learn more! Hopefully this summer I'll meet some hosts in Russia/Germany:)

Interests

Definitely travelling. I always try to plan a trip during holiday spontaneously. I like to book everything a week or even a day before the trip, bring my bag and go.

I'm not a professional photographer but I like taking photos of anything, mostly my friends, animals and natures, and occasionally I take some good photos:P If you wanna see some of photos you can look for taylorlorlor on Instagram:)
I'm trying to learn to take cool photos and videos by my camera and GoPro, if you're good at them maybe you can teach me:P

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any kind of good music, from well known pop songs to alternative indie music. I play piano and drums.
I actually learnt much English and at least half of my Japanese skills by listening to English/Japanese music! And I'm trying it on German and Russian as well.
I love horror, sci-fi, comedy and action movies.My favourite films these few years are Guardian of the Galaxy, Maze Runner and As Above, So Below.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went hiking for five days in Iceland after finishing A-level and camped on snow one night.

I studied and lived in a castle which is actually a boarding school in South England:P

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help/teach you with Chinese/Japanese language skills and if you are interested in my study, aeronautical engineering, we could talk about topics from aerodynamics to structural analysis:P

What I Can Share with Hosts

With enough ingredients I can try to make a good Chinese dinner (although I'm not perfect at cooking, but you can still try :P)

Countries I’ve Visited

China, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Isle of Man, Japan, Macao, Malaysia, Norway, Russian Federation, Scotland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, United Kingdom, Wales
