Hi I am Leo and I am an international student at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. I am now a law school student (J.D.) and I will be a 3L (third year of law school) in the coming August. I grow up in Qingdao, Shandong Province, China, and I went to school in Guangzhou, Canton, China. I speak Mandarin, English, and Cantonese (the order suggests fluency).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am amazed by the idea of couch surfing, and it is definitely a hit in our generation. My best friend in law school has been hosting couple of international friends in Dallas and she absolutely loves it. Also, it saves a lot of money, which is crucial for a student like me ...

Interests

I am a good runner, and I am very outdoorsy. I enjoy hanging out with friends who have interesting ideas. I am also into politics ... which I sense is not a "cool thing" on this website, but I will not bother you by talking about Obama Care during my trip, promise.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy reading novels, and my favorite English writer is Hemingway. My favorite Chinese writer is Cao Xue-qin and Eileen Chung. I am also a fan of Mishima Yukio.

I am a fan of various music, especially classical and alternatives. Don't really have a "favorite band", but if I must name some, they could be Angel & Airwaves, Temper Trap, and Enya. For classical, I am a Dvořák fan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lost 25 ponds AFTER I relocated in the U.S. I know you are shocked.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm I am not sure what this block means ... I mean I am a teach assistant of Contract Law in law school, which I don't think this is something anybody would be interested in ...
