About Me

UPDATE: In Hong Kong and NOT hosting

I'm quite a sentimental person who likes to observe other people. I'm an extroverted introvert - I'm always quiet, but it doesn't mean I don't want to talk. Deep talks are more preferred when we get closer.

I'm studying architecture in Copenhagen right now, before that I was raised in Hong Kong which is a really packed city with 7 million people. I'm a metropolitan who couldn't really feel how to live for 20 years. So I'm really enjoying my life in Copenhagen being relaxed and I could have time to sit back and think a lot about myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It first came to me because I don't have that amount of money when I travel in Europe. My first experience was in Stavanger in Norway, where I climbed up the Pulpit Rock. I also started to realise my vision is kinda small as I do more travelling. I wanna meet all sorts of people who have different experience and stories to tell, and I enjoy seeing our differences!

Interests

I have lots of interests which sometimes I'm only overheated at a time, but the ones I listed are what I like for long time! I do my own hand brew coffee everyday, and my favourite beans is Geisha from Panama, which is very expensive, and I don't get the chance to try it very often. I also like to wander around cities to search for pocket spaces that fit with the people living there. And of course hiking is my all-time-favourite! I used to do a lot of hiking in Hong Kong, and now I try to do small hikes when I travel because there's not a single mountain in Copenhagen (which makes me really sad). Recently I'm starting to do some meditation when I sensed that I need some time to drift off my mind. So if you share any of these interests with me, I'm happy to know more! :)
