ABOUT ME

Hi! My name's Chui Mei, Cherise, from Hong Kong.

I love traveling and I would always enjoy meeting people from different countries and cultures. Like to learn different beautiful languages. Really love having different kinds of dishes of different countries :)
And I love scene seeing, especially the natural part of our world like the beautiful sunrise, sunset, rainbow, the sea, photography, drawing, and hiking..........

I'm currently on my gap year which started from 6/2011.
During this year I would love to travel a lot, study spanish in spain, enjoy my working holiday in UK, to learn, to know more about our world including the third world and more importantly, to equip myself. Can't believe I could be a backpacker in Europe on my own this year without my supportive travel-mates, but I'm not alone cos I met lots of new friends around. So nice to meet you all:)

Absolutely awesome memorable wonderful rewarding year!^^ Love travel, Love backpacking, Love Art, Love Photography, Love Europe!! Back to Hong Kong right now, I would say MY ADVENTURES NEVER END!!!!!!

PHILOSOPHY

I love life! Life is wonderful and you can never know what's going to be happened next. Treasure time! Keep learning!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would definitely welcome to couch you a coffee or a drink and guide you to travel around Hong Kong :)
I've traveled quite a lot around China, including Tibet, Beijing, Silk Road and Yunnan, Shanghai... Let me know in case you have questions traveling around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a beginner to CS. I'd like to participate in both hosting and staying with others, believe we can share valuable and interesting time here. Glad that I joined CouchSurfing meetings in Madrid, London and Hong Kong~

Interests

Traveling, Learning foreign language, Drawing (watercolour & chinese painting), Cooking, Photography. To be honest, I was not a sportive person 4 years before, but my 1st backpacking to Tibet changed my days. I started cycling, hiking, swimming and wakeboarding, & looking forward to get a diving licence soon. I'm a runner and preparing to do my 1st marathon on Feb 2014 in HK.
