Ni Hao, I'm an english teacher currently living in Shenzhen. I had my first taste for travelling when I went inter railing around eastern Europe when I was 18 and I have been hooked ever since.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im brand new to couch surfing but I have heard great things. My philosophy is that locals have the best knowledge, so what better way to see the world.

Interests

Running is my stress reliever, Im currentlytraining for a 25km in Hong Kong.
I have recently gotten into rugby and I play with the Shenzhen Dragons.
Other than that, I love music and adore checking out the local live music scene.
