About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be brave, be adventurous, be inspired

ABOUT ME

I am a very passionate, kid-loving and fun person. I love hanging out with friends and I am talkative to make sure i won't bore my friends :P.

I am also an adventurous person willing to try different things in my life cause YOLO so whatever :D.

P.S.: I am also a big pug-lover :D I just can't help cause their dumbness (in a good way) got me. :P

PHILOSOPHY

I think positively. I believe there is always hope ahead of you.

The reason why I always want to meet new people is that it gives me a chance share my experiences in life with others and the other way round. I really hope to share my story so as to inspire people and be inspired. And that is why I would say I am a full-time traveller.

Life is short and I am not living in one's life, so I decided to be myself and do things I really want to do. I don't let people tell me what to do in my life. The world never bores me and I can't tell how amazing and how big it is when I leave my hometown and go on travel. Life is not about working or making a lot of money but it's about experiencing and loving the people around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was in Northern Ireland, my friend and I decided to take a trip and try to meet some cool people so he told me to try couch surfing and that moment was my very first time to hear something like this (But eventually we didn't find a host).

Lately I am going to Europe alone for a month so I would really like to try something new and fun and meet some new friends!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recreated CS account a few years ago but I have never tried to host or to couchsurf in other countries. Since I am making some travelling plans lately, I would love to give it a shot and meet some new people making friends! and I would also love hang out when people come to HK (Though I couldn't host recently :( )

Interests

- Swimming and sunbathing: My favourite sport in summer :-)
- Jogging: Putting my earphone on, shutting the world down and jogging allow me to think. Yeah I am pretty sentimental and I love thinking alone.
- Playing badminton
- Hiking
- Reading: I could be a bookworm sometimes and just stay at a bookstore or a coffee shop for a whole day! :P
- Singing (awfully): One says' people who sing terribly always love singing.' True.
- Dancing (awfully): I think it's much better when I get drunk.
- Watching movies: Any movies!
- Spacing out sometimes: Love it. Especially in class.
- Clubbing

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
John Green's been my favorite so far!

Music and movies:
Any genre will do :D I am a very sentimental person so touching and sad movies always get me. I love to laugh and be scared so horror movies and comedy are absolutely on my list too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have tried jet-skiing with my friend in Acapulco in Mexico. It was my first time trying Jet-ski. We saw a shark passing by us and my friend fell into the water when I was driving (Luckily she wasn't eaten by the shark haha!).

I went to London with my very best friend and we went clubbing for some crazy nights! Plus we got drunk and peeped somewhere on the street I guess.. :$ We also climbed up to the underground sign for some cool pics!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach Mandarin and Cantonese for sure! :D

I went to Kazakhstan and Mexico for teaching children aged 3-16 for English, Math, Science and cultural stuff. And I am good at Origami too! :P
I am totally up to voluntary work in teaching!

I could also provide some medical advice and teach people with some health-related issues.

I have done different kinds of voluntary work cause I believe we have the obligation to help others if we are able to do it. I would love to share and hear different stories from others in the world!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything I can do! I know couch-surfing is not a free hostel so I would totally love to help with the housework or anything I can help.

I would also like to cook some traditional cuisines, though I am a terrible chef.. And I will definitely bring some food/snacks/drinks/gifts to the hosts (Just in case I fail in cooking! :D )
