Learning Chinese. I'm a PhD candidate in Economic Geography (Singapore), I do research in China (Guangdong, Tianjin, Sichuan, Sunan). I've studied Chinese in Taiwan. I like music, sports, cinema, cooking. I'm clean, handy, I don't smoke, and I'll gladly lend a hand

I play saxophone, drums, bass, guitar, and like to sing in the shower :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet new people, learn about their favourite spots in their city. Hotels are boring and alienating.

You always have a home in Amsterdam!
