About Me

I am a design student in Hong Kong. I first study Environment and Interior Design in my undergraduate and further study for landscape architecture. I am fascinated by the different cultures around the world. Meeting new friends from all around the world is really amazing. I have been travelled to many countries, like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, European countries (Italy, France, Spain), Singapore, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand and other part of China. In different journeys, I met different people and understood more about the place. I have tried different kinds of accommodation, like hotel, hostel, airbnb and tried once for coach surfing with an experienced friend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to explore more about Couchsurfing since it is the most remarkable way to get in touch with the locals. The most attractive thing of the journey is the experience gained. Memories are the treasure to me. I love to make friends in journey and love to share interesting things with cultural difference. Maybe design is really influencing me, pushing me to explore more about the hidden beauties of different places. I would like to meet up more people and share stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite music is Piano Guys. I think they are really genius with exploring the potential of the instruments. Their song 'Beethoven's 5 Secrets' is really an amazing piece.

My favourite movies are 'The Shack' and 'Interstellar'. They are really amazing in both narrative and filming.
The most recent movie I love is ‘Miracles of the Namiya General Store’. It is a warm and hearttouching
film that brings hope to life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to Myanmar for one of my design project related to landscape architecture in urban planning scale. After the visit of a little township called Dala in Myanmar, I do research and make my own landscape design in Dala. Turning the problematic township into the City of Ponds. Since Dala is always flooded, every rainy season the entire township suffered. Therefore, in my project I tried to strengthen Dala by using the weakness of the place: water.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach drawing, and the languages I am fluent at.
I would like to learn about different cultures and languages.
I would like to share my travel journey and my own story.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would like to share some interesting stories about design and travel. I have the habit to collect little stuffs (travel diary and postcards that sent to myself as records of journey) during the journey. I would like to share those memories to host.
