About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save money and travel, travel and travel ......

ABOUT ME

Born and grow up in a grassroot family in Hong Kong. Luckily, married a lovely husband Wang. We both love travelling a lot. Sometimes, I got bored with the repeated busy working, eating and sleeping cycle in a stressful city. Wanna escape and to be free. Travelling makes me back to basic, more simple and joyful. So I try my best to make my dream comes true ... earn as much as money I could; spend as little money as I would; travel as long as I could and as many places as I could; meet as many different people as I could ... What else!!???

To know more about myself, you may read the references below in other CS's eyes or be my host/guest!

I love cooking, especially Chinese food really well. If being hosted or host, I surely can cook the best for you if you dare to taste!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Contentment is better than the riches.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf & host

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a 1.5-year trip to Asia, Central Asia, Middle East, Caucasus area, and Europe with my husband (CS member: John Wang) in 2008 / 2009. Before that trip, my French friend recommended me couchsurfing as a free accommodation. That's true but much much more than that! We did our couchsurfing experience (being a guest) first time in Mashhad, Iran. Since then, we are addicted! During this trip, my husband and I enjoyed very much to meet different people, try different local food and see different places. I cannot find another better way to meet local people, to understand their life, culture, food, music .... Hope to see you guys soon and share with you all my experiences and culture.
