About Me

ABOUT ME
- studying Master in Art History in Lyon, France
- I am a nice person and easy to get along
- I am aware of some social injustices in the world, and I care for marginal groups
- animal lover
- I love knowing about different cultures and getting to know more people

PHILOSOPHY
- How successful a person is depends on how much he/she CONTRIBUTES to the world instead of how much he/she GETS from the world
- Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always believe that there is a reason between being a tourist and being a traveller. When I go to one place, I want to make sure that I know more about the local people, the local culture more respectfully instead of just going to touristic places and "consuming" the place, if you know what I mean.

Interests

- Different kinds of music: from classical to pop, Chinese music, Western music...
You name it! Except metal though, I do not have much exposure to this type of music...
- I play the cello and the piano
- Reading, I used to read a book every week, but I got lazy...
- Art, paintings, sculptures etc
- Movies! I loveeeee movies and I always attempt to try watching movies from different countries
( Animation movies also occupies an important place in my heart)

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
The first one that came into my mind is Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 Second Movement. It is absolutely stunning.
I also love Tchaikovsky, Dvorak and Bach.
Ennio Morricone and Piazzolla are my other favourites! :)

MOVIES
God where do I begin...
i will always remember a Hong Kong movie called "Goodbye, my Concubine".
There are really too many movies I love and it's a pain to list them all out...
I don't watch movies with too much violence or blood or phantoms though.

BOOKS
I'm a Harry Potter fan, I adore TinTin
Sometimes I just get too impatient to finish a book :(

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I have participated in the Umbrella Movement to try to fight for democracy for Hong Kong. The movement didn't succeed but nonetheless it is an unforgettable even that I will never forget.
- Saw the Queen of England when I got lost (and accidentally walked to Buckingham Palace) on the first day of Chinese New Year. (I know I am lucky)

Teach, Learn, Share

LEARN
- My French is not very good, teach me French if you speak this beautiful language!
- I love to hear stories of different people, whether it be your past, your adventures... They are all amazing to me, it's as if I myself have lived more just from hearing you.

TEACH
- Piano and/or cello if you want
- Chinese, I teach Chinese in my past time
