About Me

I'm from Hong Kong and love travelling, exploring everywhere. Now having Working Holiday in Seoul, Korea.

Unlike most of the people living in a big city, my lifestyle is relaxing, tend to have a peaceful mind. I love listening to others, maybe on a cozy sofa, or in a bar with relaxing music, but not really like the night life, especially clubs with loud music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My place in Hong Kong is too small to provide a couch, but I would definitely like to meet the couch surfers from anywhere. Of course I would like to share my travel experience while I go couch surfing.

Had a Europe trip in 2011 Summer, met a lot of nice hosts and travel with CS occasionally since then. CS is an impressive way of travelling. Now as I have my own place, I can finally become a host and welcome guests from around the world!

Interests

I love taking photos, listening to interesting stories, listen to music and of course, travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music I listened to are mostly Japanese Music, and of course Cantonese and Chinese Music, East Asian one. But in terms of genre, BOSSA NOVA is the best and I think it is just my lifestyle.

Books I read... hard to tell, Japanese Novel, Western Classics, etc, I sometimes hate internet as I read less books after internet came out in my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a year of exchange study in Ewha Womans University in Seoul, South Korea, and a month WWOOFing in Iriomote Island, Japan, absolutely unforgettable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a freelance photographer and translator, and actually having a project on wet plate photography in Seoul, can share some story and experience on analog photography as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories when I was having exchange study or travelling. Not very exotic but still very nice I guess. Life is a unique coincidence isn't it?

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Hong Kong, South Korea, United Kingdom
