ABOUT ME Hello, My name is Alison. I am from Hong Kong. After my graduation trip I told myself that one day I will quit my job (even though I didn't have one at that time :p) and then travel around. I don't want to have the same life like everyone does. I want to try something different before I get old. That's why I was working the past 4 years and trying to save as much as I can. I have been travelling for more than 10 months now. I start my trip from Hong Kong and took the ground transport all the way to Poland. I did few workaway volunteer works during my trip. I am in India at the moment, this is my last stop of my trip. So please stop sending me request or asking me out as I am NOT in HK NOW!!!!!!!! But if you want some advice of where to go and where to eat in HK you can message me, I am happy to tell you.
Interested in Adventure Sports

Fluent in English
Learning Hakka Chinese
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I remember my first experience was meeting a Singapore guy when I visited there on my own. It was my very first time meeting a stranger from the internet. But it turned out really good. So I started to look for some hosts during my trip and I always had a very great time with the hosts. I have learnt so much from them: their cultures, stories.... I realized when you travel to a new place it is more fun to meet the people from there rather than just sightseeing. I also love sharing my stories to my new friends. It is a good way to let people understand more of the city I am coming from.
