My real name is Vanessa, but most people call me V. I was born and raised in Hong Kong, but am in the United States for university studying Neuroscience & Economics (very different subjects I know... am happy to explain)!

I love meeting new people and learning from stories - about them, the places they have been and come from, and where they want to go. I want to make more friends around the world!

Talk to me about anything - My snapchat is vma101, and my email is byteme@uchicago.edu.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Want to make friends around the world - Also because I have learnt not to trust Yelp reviews and want to try authentic local food!

音乐、电影和书籍

Music - Tchaikovsky Symphony #5, the entire Book of Mormon soundtrack. I am the biggest lover of musicals and jazz, but bring me to an EDM club and I'll tear the floor up with you with just as much enthusiasm!

Movies - The Painted Veil, Her, The King's Speech

Books - The Clockwork Orange, My Sister's Keeper, To Kill a Mockingbird, On the Genealogy of Morals

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I trained myself to have (im)perfect pitch, and I used to be tone deaf. I now write and produce music as part of an a cappella group! Our music is on spotify - give us a listen (Men in Drag)!

I produced educational videos about the water crisis in Sumatra, Indonesia, and also taught English at local schools while I was there.
