About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

My working hours are pretty erratic; the industry is nonstop and buzzing 24/7, therefore I often juggle with living and working in different timezones. In a way I much prefer this to a standard 9-5, as getting into a routine is the last thing on my mind at the moment! In my spare time I like to go out and explore and experience new things; London is a great city and I'm still constantly discovering new places to go. Open minded, easy going and enjoy a good laugh (preferably with a drink), so if you are too then we will get along just fine!

PHILOSOPHY

Take everything life throws at you as it comes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still somewhat a CS virgin, would definitely like to get onboard in the very near furture though!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only just started, none so far! But I am hopeful CS will be part of my adventures to Asia which starts in a couple of weeks!

Interests

Music - I played the violin when I was younger, now I strum the guitar when I'm in the mood to chillax.

Food & cooking - I've always been adamant that had I not been able to find a worthwhile job, I would disappoint my parents and pursue a career in the culinary arts. Keep this space open... ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a wildly varied music taste, always on the look out for new and interesting sounds. To list a few of my favourite artists/bands: Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, Ed Sheeran, Bon Iver, Ben Howard, J.S.Bach, Regina Spektor, Khalil Fong 方大同, Yoga Lin 林宥嘉 etc.

Not a film fanatic as such, but enjoy unwinding to a light hearted one once in a while.

I wish I read more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

University was certainly pretty spectacular. Academically I probably didn't gain as much as I ought to, but I've been lucky enough to meet some great friends and have shared some unforgettable times together.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to cook and will be more than willing to discuss and share anything food related.

If you happen to enjoy a sing-along after a few alcoholic beverages, then please let me know and I will be more than happy to accomodate!
