Graduate student from University of Queensland, Australia. ESL teacher in Nanjing, China.

I never appreciated how traveling might improve my outlook until I spent 2 years in China. In order to make the most of one travels, I have found out some interesting things: if one can make their time alone and traveling special, it raises the bar for the standard of company one keeps at home; if one is comfortable with oneself, there is no need for prejudice; if one never stops learning, one can surprise oneself.

I love cooking. So I wanna say my hosts to give me a chance to cook if I'm at their place and I'll make them some delicious foreign cuisine, on top of it homemade.

If I want to learn a language from you, do expect me to act like an annoying kid and ask all kinds of dumb kindergarten style questions. And I will gladly go into depth about the English language for you (seriously, I can teach you about the history of the English language and explain some difficult grammar rules.

I'm kind of obsessed with football and video games. Do expect a never ending conversation if you're a football fan.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I wanna meet interesting people who share common interests and hang out with them.
I like telling stories, albeit a not so good storyteller, people still love my travel stories.
I always take a small gift or a souvenir for my hosts and for the guests I always do my best to be with them and guide them through the city.
I like either taking my camera or guitar with me so that I could share some pictures of my past or play a song for my hosts.

Интересы

I once intensely queried myself. Found out that my favorite things in life are
*traveling,
*photography,

*sports,
*music,
*books,
*movies.

Then I realized that everyone likes all of the above, so in the interest of specificity, a small sample of my current broad interests looks like:
1 weekend trips to mountains or sea beaches
2 don't have a DSLR now but I'm quite good with phone ,
3 football, swimming, basketball, badminton
4 rock, jazz, pop
5 Harry Potter
6 Christopher Nolan, James Cameroon, Todd Willis

While these are roughly my favorites, they by no means pigeonhole me. Given a choice between favorite and new, I always take new ;)

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Cooked Indian, Thai and French cuisine for my Chinese friends on dragon boat festival and surprisingly they were delicious. All of 'em!

Hiked the so-called most dangerous mountain of China (Huashan), went on to reach the 5 peaks in one single afternoon

Rode world's second largest roller coaster at Changzhou dinosaur park.

Went on a night out with just my trousers on when the temperature was -27℃. Shouldn't have done that. ❌
