About Me

Hi there! I am a recent architecture graduate from Hong Kong, now basing myself in Scotland. My journey has come to a pause two years ago due to pandemic and it’s now time to resume!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always believe that meeting with locals is one of the best ways to knowing more thoroughly about the city, culture and people itself. I treasure every friendship which I encounter along the way. They are what I value the most when traveling . And with all those inspiring and thought provoking conversations that generate spontaneously, oh I just love them.

Interests

  • architecture
  • coffee
  • cycling
  • backpacking
  • watching movies
  • art exhibitions
  • reading and writing
  • drawing and sketching

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently fall in love with urban folks and jazz-hiphop genre. Try searching for 宋冬野 or Nujabes if you’re not sure about what I mean ;)
.
Am a big movie lover. Have been feeding myself with film fests for years. Am sure we could have lots to share with if you like movies too. Crime & mystery genre was how I get everything started.
.
Read on daily basis due to my 3-hr long commuting time to work. Currently trying to catch up with all sorts of classic literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My journey three years ago traveling all the way across Hong Kong, Mainland China, North Korea, Mongolia, Russia to Europe by buses and trains.
