CURRENT MISSION

To live, laugh, learn and love.

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent college grad and high school teacher-intern. I've lived all over, but back home in Hong Kong now!

PHILOSOPHY

Have serious goals but don't take yourself too seriously!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

However I can! I love sharing and learning.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few people when I was a college student studying abroad -- I would like to be a hostee and surf more often! I've been to CS meetups in San Francisco, Hong Kong, Beijing and England. I've only surfed a few times during a trip in Seoul with combination of people through a dance exchange and some CSers. It was amazing!

Interests

In New York: Exploring the Columbia tunnels, pillow fights in Union Square, really big bookstores, the view from Greenpoint piers, the subway, museum parties after dark, getting lost in the West Village, swing dancing at Fram, live jazz, Shakespearian role-play parties, scavenger hunts around the city.

In Hong Kong: The harbour view from Central Plaza and typhoon shelter lighthouses, the Wan Chai 7/11 Challenge, theatre flicks at the Fringe Club, swing dancing at Grappa's Cellar, the Saturday Night Jazz Orchestra, salsa if I can, street markets, bringing friends (or couchsurfers!) to Balalaika and watch them gawk at the liquid rainbow.

Oh, and I'm a die-hard flaneurist.
