CURRENT MISSION

Learn enough Chinese that I can talk to taxi drivers.

ABOUT ME

Things I like: new experiences, learning languages, music (especially heavy music!), learning things that blow my mind.

PHILOSOPHY

Hume - "Be a philosopher, but amidst all your philosophy, be still a man". In other words, don't worry too much, and keep both feet firmly on the ground!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far: language exchanges (English <> Chinese). Hopefully in future will be able to host, and would love to surf when I have some free time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very little so far, hopefully I can expand this section soon...

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: If it makes me laugh, great. If it brings a tear to my eye, even better. If it makes me think, better still.
Music: I love metal, but my tastes are pretty diverse. I don't like "factory produced" music, though.
Books: I don't read nearly as much as I ought to. Recommend me something!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love going to festivals - the sense of absolute freedom from inhibition to be who you want to, yet also being part of something greater than yourself.

Teach, Learn, Share

Trivia, but not the kind that comes up in pub quizzes. Fascinating but generally useless facts.
