About Me

I was born in Guangdong, China, which is a southern province of China. When I was 15 years old, I immigrated to Hong Kong and I have lived in Hong Kong for 7 years now. I can speak both Mandarin and Cantonese. Also, because I was obessed with South Korean drama, I can speak a little bit Korean.

I am a part-time female magician in Hong Kong, also I am a balloon artist( you probably haven't heard of it, it is balloon twisting). If you want me to show you some magics or balloon characters, I am happy to do that.

I love traveling since last two years. I am doing exchange study in Poland for 6 months, so I can travel around the Europe for the very first time. I love adventure and crazy things, also I love talking and sharing my story to people, about my past, like what is the life in China and what is the life in Hong Kong or what experience that I have being as a female magician.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason is very simple :I love to travel alone and make new friends.

Since last time, I chatted with my Airbnb host for 3 hours about myself, my life in China, in Hong Kong, also history of China, my opinion about Chinese politics, I found that my story sounds interesting to people, especially for those who want to visit Asia but have no idea about it. I have not only been to China (Shanghai, Beijing and Hangzhou(a city named the heaven of the Earth) and Hong Kong, I have also been to South Korea and Thailand thanks to my magic competition. Also, I have plenty of friends from Taiwan. I know Asia and I would like to share about my country to others.
