CURRENT MISSION

I like meeting interesting people and listening to and making music.

ABOUT ME

I just graduated from college in the US and am currently traveling abroad on a one-year fellowship to study Chinese music in different types of communities outside of the Mainland. I've already been to Taiwan, Singapore, France, and Japan and am heading to Hong Kong next. Unfortunately my housing fell through and I need a place to stay from May 16th to June 20th or so. If anyone has any leads on an apartment or room I could rent that would be awesome! Alternately, if I could crash for just a few days with someone who could give me some tips about what to do and see in Hong Kong that would be cool too.
