About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be your lovely, funny Hong Kong-ese guest in your place, I will make you laugh and cry at the same time!!

ABOUT ME

In such playground of the world, shall we meet in such fantastic planet?

I born in Hong Kong, full-blood Asian. However, my life does not follow a very traditional style, and my appearance is so universal that I can be a local anywhere. Since high school, I have started to seek sponsorship for travelling the world. The incredible experience journey was Antarctica expedition in 2007. I was sponsored by Cola Company and BP to study the Antarctica ecosystem. The pure, lovely white-landscape always drives me crazy. I love interactive with nature environment very much. Mountaineering is my pleasure habit. My current is to summit all the 4000m peaks in the Alps

Indeed, I believed that travelling is necessary to take the moment of stillness of the place in extension time to understand the culture and life deeper it. Thus, I love to visit a place with a long, flexible time. For example, I have been stay in Indonesia about one month. Taiwan about three months. Kazakhstan about four months.

When I visited Iran, the locals taught me very important thing "Love = love yourself first, deliver your love second, and receive other person love finally". I love to communicate with the local when I am travelling. Every time talk with others, like reading a long, alive history book and gaining a lot of life-experience through listening and interactive. Please tell me more about your story. I love to listen to everything you want to share.

PS I hate to say goodbye very much. Every-time I leave the host family; I always want to cry for sure. Please do not make me cry!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Freedom is the first rule.
Be safe, have fun, learn stuff
Let make a better mistake tomorrow
Let our dream come true
