Hi! I'm Frankie. I'm a software developer in my 20s. Born to two Hong Kongers and raised in North East England. Trying to find happiness, purpose in life, and to figure out adulthood. Join me 😀

I'm a thinker and an introvert. I'm respectful and calm. I endeavour to make people feel welcome, relaxed and happy. So if you're looking for a party animal, I'm probably not that guy. But if you want to meet up, chill, explore, make jokes, eat lots, laugh, play games, pet animals, talk about life, drink coffee - let's enjoy it together 😊

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

When I see the world, I prefer to experience the country, the culture and the people in a more memorable and authentic way, rather than just dropping by tourist hotspots. I'd love to meet and make friends from all around the world. I have so much learning and growing to do in this lifetime, and couchsurfing is a perfect way to start - whether as a surfer or as a host.

Interessi

🍜 Food
I love food - some would say too much - and would like to taste as many cuisines as possible.

🍳 Cooking
Naturally, my love of food means I like to create my own. Being ethnically Chinese means I have cooking ability in my genes.

🥁 Music
I am a self-taught drummer, I play a little bit of guitar and I have been learning piano (on and off).

💪 Keeping fit
I like to lift heavy things. Also recently started running again; hoping to do a timed 5km event soon!

🐶 Animals
I adore animals (but those with more than 4 legs scare me). They fill me with a childlike happiness, and we all have a responsibility to protect them and the world they live in.

Musica, film e libri

My favourite bands include Green Day, CHVRCHES and Avenged Sevenfold. I tend to listen to rock, pop and metal. I've set myself a goal to listen to more genres of music in 2020.

My childhood hero was Jackie Chan, so I love his classics from the '80s. Other than that I enjoy movies of many genres, particularly thrillers, comedies and actions.

Currently trying to rediscover my childhood love of reading (though this smartphone is sooo addictive...). I recently read some books about race in the UK, which particularly interests me.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I could teach you something about British culture, or Chinese culture (or what it's like being British-Chinese), or computing, fitness, cooking, music - anything I might be able to help with - just ask!

I'm curious about our world, and i am always open to learning new things, big or small... whether it's helpful phrases in a new language, or some life-changing advice... whether it's about society, science, technology, politics or something else - if you share an interest with me, let's talk. And if you don't, well... maybe you can convince me!

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I can offer my company and friendship. I try my best to make a positive impact on my host's day, since they are generous enough to let me stay. I am happy to give you the opportunity to judge my cooking skills 😀 I am happy to chill with you at the end of the day, or go out and explore places together.
