About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life adventure

ABOUT ME

I'm now a full-time travel adventurer, an vacationer and a Life-trainer.

I was an animal trainer in the Ocean Park Hong Kong. I have been worked with Giant Pandas, Sloths, Capybara, Kinkajou, Tamarins, Marmosets, Parrots, golden monkeys, etc.
I like animals and enjoy building a relationship between us. I have wonderful experiences with them and I love to share it to anyone.

I graduate in the City University of HK for the Bachelor degree of information Engineering. HaHa, I like technology, but I don't want to work on this field. But my knowledge can definitely help, I can always get a different angle for the problem since I have a more different knowledge background from the others.

PHILOSOPHY

I am an optimistic person that enjoy everything in my life. I like to face all the challenges in a happy manner. I love travel and don't mind to be hard and tough one. I slept in airport and train station or just on the street or upside hill a few times. I treat these are life experience.
I like to observe peoples and I dying love to jump into any adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to make new friends and share. No matter the ages, background, races and gender. I would like to make friend with them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I living in a very nice family in Salekhard, Russia. They are a very good host that bring us to sightseeing around and help us to prepare for the trip to the tundras. They treat us like family that I can feel the love from them. We also cooked one Chinese dinner for them, but they cooked several already. Thank you for hosting us. It will be my wonderful memory.
I staying in a rural village when I was volunteering in South India. A very touching memory are impacting my life. We are living in a school. Although the language between us and the local are different, we can communicate without barrier with no verbal and just body language. Because of the lovely children, I went to visit a family every day. All the happy moment are full of happiness and joy. In an afternoon, the mum ask me to stay to have dinner. I would love to try and no excuse to reject. The village is beside a lake. They share me one tiny freshwater fish (about 10 cm long)which have lots of bones. I think is caught by father that some were sold and two of it is leave for the family dinner. Yes, it is really only two fish for dinner(with curry and some nane). In HK, I hate fish because I don't like bones in fish. However, they share half of their dinner and their whole 5 peoples family having another half. I'm so shame, but also grateful and appreciate to their generous. I'm so touching because they want to thanks me to play with their kids everyday. They are really kind people.

Another one is I staying with my friend whose our guide in the trekking in India after the volunteering. I staying in his home with his family. Her mum are very welcome us to stay. She treat us like her own son. Their whole family move to another room and let me and my friend staying in the next. She got a cow and she milk us every morning and cook very local breakfast to us too. I love them so much. Thank you for taking care us and I got a very happy trip with his son too.
