About Me

In February 2015 I left Hong Kong my home-a tiny, crowded and safe city gifted with lots of beautiful mountains alongside the famous skyscrapers, quitted my job as an art library assistant, bought an one-way ticket and started a new page of life in Heidelberg.

I have worried a lot about what's next, but I started to love the thrill of taking risks and being spontaneous. Life is full of surprises anyways. Usually it's much more fun and you realise how much you're blessed along the way.

To cut it short: right now I am studying church music, I play piano and organ, also bike and swim a lot. Whenever it's possible i go travelling, usually alone. I'm book lover, nature lover, simple, easygoing, and broke.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me Couchsurfing is something about freedom, spontaneity and sharing. Every one has the right to travel in a more affordable way. Above all, getting along with the locals is certainly the best way to get to know the city. Making friends from all over the world and knowing about their culture or anything are simply great :)
