CURRENT MISSION

To find myself... Journey to the Motherland... Learn to read and write Chinese.

ABOUT ME

During my second time abroad in 2010, I decided that it was time to go travelling and experience new adventures, extending my original one week holiday to an indefinite length. I love anything music related and went to a total of four Europeans festivals that year. I enjoy meeting and hanging out with new people and hearing stories about their journeys. Also, I have discovered that making friends with locals is a great way to get an insight of daily life, cultures and traditions in a particular region.

PHILOSOPHY

There is more to life than the same four walls that surround you on a daily basis. Do as much as you can while you're still young.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was recommended the project by friends and have since surfed in many cities but have not yet been a host. I would be willing to return the favour to fellow Couch Surfers once I have settled in my own place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Countless back at home, around different cities in the UK. All around Central and Eastern Europe.

Interests

Meeting new people, seeing new places, checking out bands and records. The Art of Self Discovery.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The main highlight is quitting my job whilst at a festival in Czech Republic. This has become the most important turning point in my life so far. I have already seen and experienced many activities that I would not have otherwise back home in London.

Travelling by car through Northern Germany, stopping from beach to beach. Later on, around the Alps, through forests and several bordering countries. Fresh air like I've never felt...

Returning to Hong Kong after a fifteen year gap, rediscovering my family roots and at the same time developing a desire to live there.

Teach, Learn, Share

It is a way of life. Never try to change somebody, but what one has to teach, learn and share can be adopted as a positive influence towards another.

In terms of everyday life, anything from languages to food!
