About Me

Hello there, you can call me Surreal or Gary.

I have just recently moved from Chengdu to Beijing with me and my three turtles, Cookie, Cornflake and Pie

As a rule, I don't host people who rarely host, never hosted or send copy paste messages.

So if you send me a request, but haven't hosted or dont appear to have read my profile, I may decline the request. I have a password for requests further down to show you read my profile.

I am a Freerunner, Parkour athlete from London. I studied Tourism Management 旅游管理. in Chengdu

I would describe myself as a funny. energetic, sarcastic, cheeky. I like to be straightforward and honest. I love philosophy and movement.
