I am Ben (Ng Ho Chuen) from Hong Kong.
Love to meet friends around the world.
I am a beer geek + homebrewer + diving lover (AOW).
Love to share the story while drinking/after diving.
Time is short so I am willing to spend my current times to explore the world.
Happy can be delivered by interaction among people through beers.

Enjoy every moment in my life time.
Who can tell me when is the doomsday and my death?
Or what is true and what is false?
Reality is only that you experience by yourself.
Life is short.
Do it right now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First of all, I don't choose hotels as my accommodation in my packbacking travel.
Secondly, I have experienced to live in hostels in some countries but it is hard for me to understand the local culture directly.
Thirdly and finally, I believe that couchsurfing is a wonderful experience in my life!

Music, Movies, and Books

About the music, the independent music like indie folk, alternative rock, digital rock and 80s,90s music in Hong Kong are my favorite.
About the movie, inspiring movies and Hong Kong local movies always are my type.
About book, I do not usually read a 'book'. But I read articles related to society and human being because I have studied social science, art and culture. Those articles are much more specific and direct for me to know some rationales and facts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to Tibet and naked ran on the plain of Mountain of Himalaya.
I have been diving into the crystal sea in Green Island, Taiwan.
I have shared my happiness with the Cambodian children without using money in Cambodia.
I have done the bungy jump in the Auckland Bridge in New Zealand.
I have engaged in the Umbrella Movement in my home!
I have tried hitchhiking in Croatia.
I have hiked on a snow mountain for over 25km in Poland without any special equipment.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach you Chinese in terms of written and spoken language(Both Cantonese and Mandarin).
Share beer tasting or my homebrew recipes.
I believe in the New Age. That means lots of elements of different philosophies and religions both eastern and western, like karma, reincarnation.
I am good at sports.
I also believe the existence of alien. I think that they are not the product of modern culture(movies, animation and literature), but they have been there since and before the ancient civilizations.

If you have same interests, we could have a nice chat.
