Hey everyone! I'm Tony-- fresh out of college and ready to explore Europe this summer before I commit my life to 7+ years of medicine. I was never pegged for one to stay in a place too long. I've lived in China, Japan, and moved around a ton in the U.S.

I'm always working towards trying new things whether its cooking new dishes or learning a new musical instrument. There are a few things I'm extremely passionate about for now: weightlifting, running, traveling, music, beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm conducting a research project in King's College London this summer for 10 weeks and would really love for someone to host me. It's my first time ever in Europe so it'd be great to have a local show me how to live life in London.

Interests

Weightlifting at least 3 times a week and run on my off days. I don't really mind exercising with people.

Traveling - only really got to explore China, but I think it would be interesting checking out everything London and some other cities like Amsterdam or Paris had to offer.

Music - Played violin for a couple of years, sat in a couple of orchestras in my middle and high school years. Trying to learn the guitar this summer.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Chinese, weightlifting, American beers, music

Learn: I want to learn how people from a different culture live, what they're interested in, and what their lifestyles are like. I want to immerse myself in a new culture and learn what it's like to experience change and to learn how to adapt myself to that.

Share: Stories. I'm known for my random, unique stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can provide company and share my stories of my life in America, China, and Japan. Anything that you'd like to discuss, a newfound interest, venting on your friend - I'm all ears.

Other than that... maybe beers and company at public events?
