I am a university student from Hong Kong, China. I'm traveling around Europe as a backpacker. I'm a bit slow to warm up, but I really enjoy talking to people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First of all, I often travel solo. I don’t want my trips to just be city sightseeing; I much prefer connecting with different people. I’ve met so many wonderful and interesting people along my journeys, many older than me, who have shared their life stories with me. It has made me realize that beyond my own life, there are countless different possibilities and ways of living in this world.

Secondly, I’m curious about what daily life is like in these beautiful cities. I want to talk with the people here, listen to their stories of living in different countries, and exchange our views on different places.

Although I can also have such cross-cultural communication online, face-to-face interaction is totally different. It feels like our hearts are drawn closer to each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a small accident while diving abroad and went to see a doctor alone at my 16.
I lived and worked on a farm in Sri Lanka for a month.
I once rescued a bird that had been hit by a car.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ll share my postcards, and I can teach traditional Chinese dance.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m a talkative person with decent English skills, and I have many stories to share. For example, my experience working on a farm in Sri Lanka, my diving accident when I traveled alone in Southeast Asia, and my time learning pottery in a small village in China. I think these are all very interesting stories. Although those experiences were tough, I have never regretted doing them.

I love writing postcards very much. I’ve brought many postcards about the Netherlands and China, which I plan to give to people I meet during my travels. They feature classic Chinese elements, with classic Chinese stories behind.
