About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hear by Heart

ABOUT ME

I am a young journalist from Hong Kong, currently in Prague for an exchange program in journalism in winter/spring 2013-14.
I am easy-going, independent and eager to be shocked by different culture. Being new to couch surfing, I look forward to chances and opportunities in meeting different hosts. So, offer me a chance to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

Limitless.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing: I love cooking. I can cook you some food during my stay, teach you Chinese and write you traditional Chinese calligraphy. You definitely can't miss the talking with me to share my stories and my city to you. I'm also looking forward to getting inspired by yours.

Hosting: I had not much idea about the rest of the world so I'm waiting for you to tell me everything you know about your city.

Meeting people: If time constraints, it is the best to meet you outside and spend a nice afternoon or evening together. It's a great escape for me during the week. I can show you around the city on weekends. You would not want to miss a local low-budget restaurant I love a lot.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am hosting and surfing, also meet other surfers if I can't host. I really got inspired by the CS experience a lot, especially during my very first surfing experience with my host Michael in Krakow. Now I may have a different planning over my life. Sometimes we will have no idea how tiny things could influence someone entirely. That's the meaning of CS.

Interests

Any kind of music (I play guitar), books, movies, drinks, blablabla. Help me to explore! But one thing is I am not a part animal. I can dance but I prefer talking more.
