About Me

I'm a student at Nottingham University, doing my PhD on propaganda music in Japanese-occupied Beijing.
Love travelling, love learning about cultures, politics, history, science.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet the people that actually live in the places I am visiting.

Interests

I'm really into music - classical, choral, contemporaty, world etc.
I spend a lot of my time thinking about China, Chinese history and parallels to the contemporary world. Always loved quirky sounds, images with a story to tell and listening to scientists tell me about what they do.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hanns Eisler, Jiang Wenye, Clara Schumann
Yu Hua, Dürrenmatt...
Always open to suggestions, tell me what book influenced you most!
