Third-culture kid "from" lots of different places. I grew up in Malaysia for half my life, and in New Zealand for the other half. It's made me a bit of a cultural Chimera, but also more aware of how many different ways there are to live in this world. I studied mathematics at university and am a bit of a science nerd. Right now, I'm a new PhD student in logic and computer science at the University of Innsbruck. I'm not the biggest talker when you first get to know me, but I enjoy lots of different kinds of activities and thinking deeply about things. Now I live in Austria and try to take as much advantage of the Schengen area as I can!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
When traveling: to live with and learn from the locals—Quirky non-tourist places, local culture in all its expressions, and new friends of different experiences and points of view. When hosting: to share a little space with nice travelers, provide a comfortable and quiet space for them to come back to, and perhaps make a few friends along the way.
Musique, films et livres
+ Wes Anderson is great, my favorites are The Royal Tenenbaums and Moonrise Kingdom! + Also any sort of musical/musical movie: The Lion King, Les Misérables, Moulin Rouge, La La Land... I'll also gladly sing along to any Disney song you can name :p + Musically I'm a sucker for indie, folk, symphonic pop/rock, and anything Irish. Bachata and cringey Latin American dance tunes are my guilty pleasure. '70s and '80s music is guaranteed to get me boogieing! + Specific names I like: The New Pornographers, BØRNS, The Paper Kites, Natalia Lafourcade, The Civil Wars. More mainstream names I like: Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Switchfoot.
Enseigner, apprendre, partager
+ Did you know that infinity has different sizes, and that deep down, there's no difference between doughnuts and coffee cups? I can use math to show you exactly how! + I also like to dance salsa and bachata, I can teach the moves I know and am also always up to learn new ones. + There's a traditional New Zealand dessert called a pavlova, it's to die for and I'd gladly share the recipe. It also needs to be left in the oven overnight, so you have a perfect reason to host me!
Ce que je peux offrir à mes hôtes
Quiet, chill company and deeper conversation. Wacky, silly dance moves (if the music's right). Fun games, puzzles, and intellectual stimulation.
