About Me

Hi, I'm new here!

I’m 23 and currently studying maths in London. I’ve been here for six years, and it’s a city that still manages to surprise me. But Hong Kong, where I’m from, will always be my favorite place in the world (my fav food is HK-styled chicken pie)

I love taking solo weekend trips to explore new places — sometimes it’s visiting museums, walking by the seaside, or finding hidden corners of a city.

I’d say I’m a little introverted, but I really enjoy meeting new people in smaller or more relaxed settings. The best way to get to know a place, for me, is always through the people who live there.

The world’s big — and I can’t wait to meet more cool people here and out there 😎

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience travel in a different way and meet locals in a closer way. It’s a bit scary to try something new, but also really exciting haha

Interests

I like taking photos, especially at sunsets and on architecture. I like modern art and learn the stories and history behind each painting.

Food is the biggest source of joy. And, sometimes I cook 👨‍🍳

I listen to a wide spectrum of (pop) songs. And I truly believe music connects people (hv met a few very close friends at concerts).

My recent fav song is Sauvignon Blanc by ROSALÍA 🥂

Teach, Learn, Share

One thing that studying and living abroad has taught me is how amazing it is to meet people from completely different backgrounds and still find things in common.

I’ve started really looking forward to meeting strangers who might become friends, learning about their culture, and sharing a bit of mine in return :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a chocolate collector and I can share some of my favourite collections with hosts haha. Im also good at housecleaning and cooking at home.

Perhaps food and some of my (plain) stories haha. I'm easygoing and open to share new experiences ✨
