Overview
About Me
I am a final year biology student at Cambridge University who loves travelling and meeting people. Having grown up in Hong Kong, I quickly learnt that being a tourist somewhere simply doesn't let you grasp the culture of a country as well as living amongst those that live there, which is why I am so keen to travel via couchsurfing.
Aside from my studies, I drink litres of gin (I set up the Cambridge Uni Gin Society so am always delighted to offer my hand at pouring), and love windsurfing, sailing, skiing and, of course, travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm a v easy going guy, so love any music that goes with that - anything from chilled singer song writer stuff (currently crushing on London Grammar and Bruno Major), via ABBA to Beyonce's back albums ;)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Camping under the stars in Sinai with a group of bedouins, Egyptians and Israelis. We all sat around the fire, exchanging songs, cultures and stories as the sun set and stars became visible. Easily the most memorable night of my life.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm currently in my final year of studying both biology and history at Cambridge so am full of useless trivia the degree has filled me with!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Good conversation, funny stories and I'm more than willing to help out as much as possible.
