About Me

Hi!

I am a big fan of comic/manga and I am crazy about 'Yuri On Ice' for this moment :)
(welcome to have a look in the 'photo' section for my yoi art ⛸️)

I did 'Picture the Host' Project when I was traveling in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. I drew a portrait for every host. Welcome to have a look in the 'photo' section in my profile.

I was born and grow up in Hong Kong(HK), China.
I like to read, write, draw and taking photos.

I enjoy vegetable as well as meat.
I am a non-smoker.
I don't drink wine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet local people and learn about how they see this world.
I believe Couch Surfing can give me a good opportunities to chat with local people.

I like being surrounded by nature, I was wwoofing in farms in Japan and still like to visit farms.
And I love water activities and hiking.

Yuri On Ice (YOI) changes my life!

I like TW male singer Jay周杰倫's rap style too.
I (was forced to) learn piano when I was small, so I like classical music too.
Cello is one of my favorite musical instrument, just love its low voice.
