CURRENT MISSION

To keep improving my Chinese and start learning German. I also want to get started in a career in London in the next couple of years.

ABOUT ME

I have just graduated with a degree in Chinese and am in the process of getting set with a job in London. I want to keep my Chinese going while living in London, and make a start on German too. I'm adventurous, caring, and enjoy friends. I love travelling with people, or alone. I like music, reading, swimming, seeing new places, learning languages, going on excursions, watching films, taking the world to rights over a cup of tea or coffee.

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy, honest and don't hurt people. Have fun in your own way!
