About Me

Living my life as fully as possible.
(About hosting please read “My home”)
Mostly asked questions:
#1 Where are you from? I am from Hong Kong with a mix Taiwanese blood. Well it doesn't matter where we are from, what matters is who we are. Always be nice to people, treat the world as the best you can.

#2 What is Chinese Medicine? Well you may call it alternative medication which might not be familiar for you. We do herbs, acupuncture, cupping or 'weird" stuffs you might have never encountered. I am more than happy to share my shallow knowledge with you.

#3 What kind of person are you? I can never stop thinking of doing new challenges and meeting new people. It tickles my whenever I meet a amazing soul. I am more like a "solo" person who can take care of everything by herself but sharing a moment with beautiful people is something I'd love. I believe I am a good company for food, drinks, movies, a walk, a chat etc etc. A great nature fan, love camping and hiking, beaches and mountains, sunrise and sunset.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's not about how many countries you have been, not about how much you have, not about who you are traveling with. It's all about the heart for the world. CS is the place where amazing people share stories, values, love and passion. Being part of it just makes my journeys more meaningful.

Traveling is a calling, for people to leave their footprints in places where love and peace are the only things matter. I love traveling and trying to expand my map of travel. I enjoy meeting new friends and having great conversations with people. The world is too big to be seen, but I believe every person I come across can bring me something I have never seen. Even if we don't meet in person, you are always welcome to stop by and say hi. Who knows what a conversation we can bring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Starting my first ever solo trip and fell in love with it.
Did a 2 months adventure from China, Nepal and India.
Trekking in Nepal for 5 days and survived
Solo trip in Europe for 5 weeks and met soooo many amazing people in London, Belgium, France and Spain

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Mandarin and Cantonese.
Would like to learn new languages because it is how people get connected directly. (Estoy aprendiendo español, me gustaria practicar si hablas español).
Love sharing traveling stories and thoughts about the world. I think this is one of the thing I found amazing here in CS where people just cross pass and share thoughts and stories. I am honored to hear some inspiring stories from fellow CSers and hope to share more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, I can do a little cooking but to be honest i'd rather help with the dishes.
Stories, I enjoy the precious talks with friends based on traveling and philosophy of life.
Knowledge, I can perform simple acupuncture or explain simple Chinese Medicine theory if you are interested.
Language, I can teach Mandarin and Cantonese.
Photos, I love sharing pictures of my journey, even print them out and send as postcards.
