About Me

********* PLEASE READ ****************************
I'm traveling during December and January, so please do not send any request for those two months.
******************************************************
Currently based in London, United Kingdom. Born and raised in Hong Kong, but having spent most of my years educated by Western methodologies and environments, some consider me a third-culture lady. I consider myself a global citizen; define home as where my loved ones are and care about causes conflicting with our next generation.

I embrace globalisation and surround myself in it, both through my work and friends.
My specialisation is shipping and international trade. I value the idea that goods are not restricted by borders. At work, I demolish boundaries to ease trade and help shipping businesses. I hope to disrupt monopolistic phenomena.

Friendships bond over values, not colour or race. Bonding with fellow global citizens, we befriended over authentic conversations and values in hopes to propel positive changes to global issues. I travel the world to reunite with old friends, meet new ones and explore more beautiful places to leave little footprints behind.

I like to live my life a #YOLO approach. A life is not lived without some stumbles to laugh about some years later. I can be a wild fun but also has a quiet side.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, meeting, learning AND HAVING LOTS OF FUN with new friends. Along the way, genuine connections has inspired me. I hope I can inspire you the same way these people had.

Personal philosophy: No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you think you are, listen, not to reply, but to understand. Everyone whom you cross paths with has something to teach you.

Interests

Parties, Laughters, Fun, Healthy- eating, challenging limits in the gym, swimming, exploring coasts around the world, becoming a chocolate connoisseur, reading, acroyoga, salsa and meditation.

Instead of achieving some sort of work-life "balance", I am working towards a work-life integration. At the end of the day, it's all 'life'. Share with me your tricks!

Of course- Traveling AND having a laugh!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Help me choose one:
1. Jumped into an icy lake in Finland.
2. Ate fried silkworms in China.
3. Drank 3 mugs of a Chinese herbal tea made of dried insects to gain back my voice for a public-speaking contest.
P.S: Waiting to add more to the list after some fun shenanigans in your country!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Mandarin or Cantonese. The least 21st century tech savvy girl so I am very eager to catch up with the evolving technology. Teach me, please!
