I am slightly reserved, but highly appreciate good laughs and small companies ;) I have a very curious mind and enjoy seeing new things - that's why the urge to travel from time to time :)

But now I'm back in Hong Kong after a great three years in Europe, with a travel bug and desire to go overseas again. Till then, maybe the best way to quell these yearning is to meet travellers, and explore HK again together with them!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started using CS during my Baltic travels, and it has been so helpful to meet new people and friends when traveling alone!

Interests

Foreign culture, history, language, food, biology, films, football

And learning life lessons from everyone's story - keeps me in perspective and less cynical.

Music, Movies, and Books

Classical, Sigur Ros, all sorts of random pieces on Youtube (historical pieces, soundtrack, foreign language songs). As long as the melody is good, then I can re-loop it over and over again!

Films: More realism and acting, less sci-fi and fantasy (but I loved Lord of the Rings). Definitely not for horror... Some of my favourites include: Trainspotting, Motorcycle Diaries, True Grit, The Wrestler, Letters from Iwo Jima, The White Ribbon, Zodiac

Books: Not often. I finished Steppenwolf from Hermann Hesse though:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living three years in Europe. A true eye-opener and personal growth experience. Still missing it very much!

Teach, Learn, Share

Always open to learning new cultures (PS: due to my admittedly often fluctuating interest, currently extra attention to those who come from... Nordic and Baltic countries, Eastern Europe, Iran and Russia)

If you fancy learning some Chinese or Cantonese, I can help out;)

If you have ever thought what those mysterious people in lab coats are doing in labs, I could also give you some ideas:) I could tell you about dissecting countless worms, extracting their eggs and making a glorious technicolour film from it...

Wenn du Deutsch sprichst, Ich werde gerne dir treffen, um meine schlechte Deutsch zu ueben...

What I Can Share with Hosts

My attention and interest to your interests and story, because I do like a good, deep conversation.

Now I'm back in Hong Kong, I'll love to take opportunities to meet travelers and explore nice eats together. For me, HK can also be very new too, because of its sheer amount of energy and events.
