I live in Australia and I love travelling but it is a hard thing to fly overseas all the time unless you're rich or a duck. I'm an introvert but I love meeting people, especially from other countries and I want to speak Japanese more before I forget how to.

I've mostly been to Asian countries and Western Europe in my travels but one day I hope to have visited every country. I tend to enjoy just talking to people from all over more than practicing language but I am good at helping with any little questions about English people have, I like teaching things, but only tutoring is boring on it's own.

I also really want to learn Russian because it sounds awesome, but no one in my home city seems interested in it.

French or Chinese would be cool to know too, and I think I could manage to learn French but Chinese will be impossible, I just can't get the hang of tonal languages like it and Vietnamese. Maybe one day!

こんにちは、私はショーンだ。これを読むことができれば私に話をしなければならない。^_^

Я не могу говорить на русском. Я, как ребенок.

Keep being Awesome!

I used to learn Russian, Japanese and other languages here. It was a great place I had some good conversations and made good friends. I come here sometimes when I am bored. It seems like there are a lot of scammers here and it's just not as full of the good people I could once meet. Be careful here.

I adore music festivals and dancing. Hip Hop, Rock, alternative and techno are my favourites because they get me moving. I feel a real connection with anyone I can enjoy music with. I'll add in Artists I like some time, but I like a lot of different artists.

ALL THE MOVIES! I seriously love movies, especially animations. I am not much into horror though. The world is scary enough without me constantly thinking about fake murderers.

LOTS! I love being outside and I don't watch as much TV as I used to but I was a big TV buff.

Terry Pratchett, Raymond E Feist, Clive Cussler, Steven Erikson, JRR Martin, George Orwell, Joseph Heller, Harper Lee, William Golding, Scott Fitzgerald, Alexandre Dumas, Bram Stoker...  and then all of those classic books everyone loves.

I would like to read more but the world is a much more distracting place. I find travelling with a lot of bus rides is a great way to get some reading in.

Knowledge is power, power corrupts, study hard, be evil.
