About Me

Shepherdess | Foodie| Science zealot | Green tech enthusiast aspired to live self-sufficiently

I'm on a venture to live/ build my off-grid homestead dream after 2 years of travelling and 4 years of working in farms! I'm all about self-sufficient lifestyle: eco-construction, raising animals, permaculture, holistic management, wool processing, etc

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet amazing people and learn about the cultures & history about the places first hand!

Interests

I enjoy gardening, meditation, yoga, reading and swimming. Of course, cooking is always fun (just like doing experiments)!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm more of a drama (particularly Chinese ones)/ anime fan. Cartoonish movies are my favourite, but "the Terminal" is one of the few exceptions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've taken care of sea lions, listened & watched whales, and surveyed dolphins & fur seals in the wild (almost got stranded on a rock island) during my stay in Lima, Peru!

I've built two cob ovens in Asia (China & Malaysia) and a cob house in Taiwan… and many more random things ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Stories, Languages, Chinese/ HK culture, Cooking (cantonese home-style, vegan), permaculture/gardening, health & nutrition

Love to learn ancient/local way of life in all types of cultures and climate, seeing how people live within nature.
