Graduate student from University of Queensland, Australia. ESL teacher in Nanjing, China.

I never appreciated how traveling might improve my outlook until I spent 2 years in China. In order to make the most of one travels, I have found out some interesting things: if one can make their time alone and traveling special, it raises the bar for the standard of company one keeps at home; if one is comfortable with oneself, there is no need for prejudice; if one never stops learning, one can surprise oneself.

I love cooking. So I wanna say my hosts to give me a chance to cook if I'm at their place and I'll make them some delicious foreign cuisine, on top of it homemade.

If I want to learn a language from you, do expect me to act like an annoying kid and ask all kinds of dumb kindergarten style questions. And I will gladly go into depth about the English language for you (seriously, I can teach you about the history of the English language and explain some difficult grammar rules.

I'm kind of obsessed with football and video games. Do expect a never ending conversation if you're a football fan.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I wanna meet interesting people who share common interests and hang out with them.
I like telling stories, albeit a not so good storyteller, people still love my travel stories.
I always take a small gift or a souvenir for my hosts and for the guests I always do my best to be with them and guide them through the city.
I like either taking my camera or guitar with me so that I could share some pictures of my past or play a song for my hosts.

Interessi

I once intensely queried myself. Found out that my favorite things in life are
*traveling,
*photography,

*sports,
*music,
*books,
*movies.

Then I realized that everyone likes all of the above, so in the interest of specificity, a small sample of my current broad interests looks like:
1 weekend trips to mountains or sea beaches
2 don't have a DSLR now but I'm quite good with phone ,
3 football, swimming, basketball, badminton
4 rock, jazz, pop
5 Harry Potter
6 Christopher Nolan, James Cameroon, Todd Willis

While these are roughly my favorites, they by no means pigeonhole me. Given a choice between favorite and new, I always take new ;)

• books
• photography
• music
• football

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Cooked Indian, Thai and French cuisine for my Chinese friends on dragon boat festival and surprisingly they were delicious. All of 'em!

Hiked the so-called most dangerous mountain of China (Huashan), went on to reach the 5 peaks in one single afternoon

Rode world's second largest roller coaster at Changzhou dinosaur park.

Went on a night out with just my trousers on when the temperature was -27℃. Shouldn't have done that. ❌
