**CURRENT MISSION**

On a long term : finnish my studies to work as a musical instruments designer.

On a shorter term :

**ABOUT ME**

I love all types of music (especially electronic music), photography (I do analog photography) and drawing.

I've also been practicing karate for 8 years.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all over the world that share a same vision and experience.
Of course I also appreciate the chance of being helped when travelling to an unknown country, would it be by being hosted or by being advised by locals.

兴趣

I'm interested in music (a lot!!), drawing, discovering foreign cultures (like many people here I guess), nature, photography (I own an Olympus OM-20 analog camera), discussing any subjects with people, cooking (trying to gather recipes everywhere I go), improving my language skills, hiking...
I study engineering so I like a good problem to solve, and tinkering circuits and computers.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share conversation, recipes that I've learned/came up with, stories of my trips and everyday life, I can play music with you even if I'm not very good at it. I listen to an incredible amount of music so I might have some artistes names to share!

I can also fix computers and electronic equipment and do tinkering ;)
