ABOUT ME
I would say I am a gentle, curious person who is relaxed and independent. I love seeing new things and talking to new people. The world is opening up and I can't wait to see it.
I have just completing my degree. I majored in history, economics and maths and also did a bit of philosophy and physics. I am now traveling and weighing up whether I want to do a phd. I also done a lot of teaching both at University and in the Vietnamese community of Melbourne.
PHILOSOPHY
There is no such thing as too much curiosity.

Music, Movies, and Books
Books: I am currently reading "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac. Books that I have enjoyed recently are "This Earth of Mankind" (Pramoedya Anata Toer), "Persuasion" (Jane Austen), "Crime and Punishment" (Dostoyevsky) and "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" (J.K. Rowling). I also re-read Winnie-the-Pooh to my little cousin and really enjoyed it.
Cartoons: Calvin and Hobbes, Tintin.
Movies: My favourite movie is "What's Cooking" by Gurinder Chadha. Recently I watched and enjoyed "Paperback Hero", an Australian film by Antony J. Bowman and the "Bourne Identity".
Music: I don't know much about music but I like most things, particularly jazz.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have been fishing with Aboriginal communities in the far north of Australia.
Teach, Learn, Share
You to teach me: I would really like it if people are willing to teach me how to cook some of the local food but this is in no way an expectation.
Me to teach you: Does anyone want help with their maths homework? I imagine not.
