À propos de moi

Hello!
I currently work as a project manager in an INGO called Save the Children. I moved to England from Hong Kong at the age of 12 and did most of my growing up in english boarding school and universities :)
I am passionate about social issues, and i hope to spend my time to make the world a little better place for the next generation! I did my masters in Middle East Politics at SOAS, so I’m always up for debates and good discussions about politics.
I am fun, spontaneous, easy going and have a lot of energy to offer. I am also very friendly, thirsty for going on new adventures doing new things and meeting new people so feel free to drop me a message, I would love to hear your stories!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I would love to meet new people who have had different experiences in life! (human connections are the best thing in the world) And I would love to gain some local insight and experiences whilst I'm travelling whilst saving a little on my poor student budget (:

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I have a very big love for anything related Zen Buddhism, feminism and politics. One of the book I've read that had changed my life completely is the book 'The Art of Happiness' which i think everyone should definitely own a copy of. It provides very good insight on how to remain calm, be open minded and generally a good person and how to be happy in day to day life :) definitely recommend!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I volunteered in the Water and Sanitation programme in rural Nicaragua - where water and electricity is scarce. Besides holding educational workshop with very limited materials we had (stones, sticks and a few bits of paper), dodging spiders from invading our sleeping quarters; it was an amazing experience overall! Albeit hard, I would do it all over again, in a heartbeat!

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I would like to think im a decent cook, so I can offer some good food (judge for yourself haha) I am also passionate about psychology, yoga, meditation, climbing, generally being pretty active. I love ceramics, art, music and I’m a big fan of museums and galleries too- and i would love to share that with someone or maybe we can enjoy it together!
I am fluent in Cantanoese (my mother tongue), English, Mandarin and an intermediate level of Spanish . I can hold a good conversation in Spanish (if you are from Latin America that is!) and I would love to improve my fluency in Spanish. One of my life goal is to be able to speak 6 languages fluently before I die so maybe some language exchange would be greatly appreciated!
