HELLO ITS MEEEEEE
Hellooooo this is Elaine, born and raised in HK. A girl who falls for travelling and exploring new experiences through knowing new friends and learn about different cultures. Animal lover. I love cooking, especially Asian food, and sharing interesting stories. I'm good at hosting food tours whenever my friends visiting HK.

FINDING LIFE DIRECTION
Recently looking for brand new (healthy) experiences in life, like thai boxing, yoga, hiking, etc. And a chance to do cliff jumping/paragliding/bungee jump.

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. Just accept randomness of life!

Interests

Cooking munching pigging out - all about food,
Cooking is one of my biggest pleasure every weekend, I love baking all sorts of desserts, making pastas (so called the best Cabonara and Aglio e Olio), and some local Hong Kongese food.

Singing while showering, been an active singer when I was young,

Apart from gaining weight all the time, I also focus on yoga meditation and muay thai, swimming and badminton (to let me eat MORE).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Risking my life by rafting in one of the most dangerous river in Asia, almost DIED but fun.

- Embarking a journey with complete strangers to Beijing and it turns out sooo good and dynamic and memorable, this inspired me to be active in CS!

Teach, Learn, Share

LANGUAGE
- Cantonese is one of the most complicated language on earth i guess.. i can teach Canton and Mandarin... Guess Mandarin is easier. I would love to learn more different languages and practise my Spanish... (its just fading away day by day)

FOOD
- How to cook Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Thai/a bit Italian food, cannot guarantee the food quality but my friends and family are my supportive fans:)
