About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Walking Back to my home Hong Kong from London since May 2015.
(if you want to know where i am now can look up my Instagram: poem430.c i use it as my journey record.)

My name is C, C is Poem in Cantonese(Yue), which is a language we speak in Hong Kong. My dream is always to be a fashion designer, but i still have a lot of different "dreams". Create new things, story is my passion. I been stay at Lonodn for 2years as my gap years, and now dong my Europe Trip to going bak home from the land way.
I did it from Portugal, and cross to Spain, Then France, after stay a month at Italy and turn to Greece by ferry( i took a lot of ferry and i love it) and now i am in Turkey.
Meeting peoples, sharing story of life, dreams, is what i really enjoying to do in my journey. Some people will say i am a talkative person, but sometime i can be very alone, but most of my time in travel, i am a talkative one.
I love sketch building special in historical building, so walking around one city the most history part is what i love to do when i going to a new city at the first time. Also, i will very happy to follow the local step to find somethings i never possible be read on the tourist handbook.
About my life in London:
In fashion, I am doing an internship here from last year in fashion design, just finish a course in costume design(I love theater!), now working out my design product and trying to find a way to sell in London.
In life, I work in a cafe to support my life and the course cost here.
For now i still not possible to host anyone, but I hope one day i can do that in Hong Kong.....
I think..... there is almost me.
