I'm a Chinese-born Canadian going backpacking before it's too late. My friends would say I'm open-minded and can talk to just about anyone.

As a Canadian, I like to think of myself as very polite and always ensure I'm not inconveniencing anyone around me while apologizing profusely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals in the various European countries that I'm visiting. Since my vacations up to this point have been to the Australia-Asia region (mostly to visit family), I've never set foot in Europe before. My tentative plans include visiting:

- Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Berlin, Germany
- Frankfurt, Germany

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played poker professionally for a few years. It was 90% online and 10% live. During that time I took 2 extended trips to Las Vegas and managed to stay out of significant trouble.
