About NYONEILL:
I have a big interest in traveling to Asia and Europe. I will be in China between October 15 and March 12 doing an internship for a manufacturing company. I'm really interested in global economies and the rapid development that has taken place in past 15-20 years in the developing world.
Hobbies:I love listening to music, watching movies, traveling, reading, shopping, drinking tea and coffee, and spending time with friends and family. I love classical music, trance, euro-lounge, traditional ethnic music, jazz and Brit-pop. I love watching foreign, classic, and independent movies.
Favourite places:I really enjoyed visiting Europe. I liked all of the countries I visited. A couple of the highlights of my trip were the Amalfi coast in Italy and Paris, France.
