This is Karen, from Hong Kong, where i grew up. Currently on exchange in Amsterdam, undergraduate student.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Through doing coach surfing, i get to really meet and have interesting conversion will local people. Real connection, real bonding.

I would like to explain to people Hong Kong culture, and Amsterdam culture, so that they will have some ideas and some good recommendations as to what is good when they come travel :-)

I think not only will i gain some really one-of-a-kind friendship, i will also have a memorable trip. It cannot go wrong that at a brand new foreign place, travellers could have a friend, and to be taken care in case of uncertainties. I would be honoured to be such a friend.

Interests

I am outgoing and cheerful. Diversity is amazing, in any aspects. I like meeting new friends, getting to know about new people, not just their names, but their stories which they share with me. Learning to be able to get along with people with various characters, culture background etc is like an adventure. Friendship is a treasure. It enriches life.

I have been dancing for quite many years. Watching movies helps me learn about move arts.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Classic, i play cello. I was in a band, guitarist, so i also listen to pop and rock. Well, basically any kinds of music, you know, music is another language and it is so beautiful and magical!

I read mainly English books and of course i wish one day my Spanish will be so fluent so i can understand long Spanish novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got into this law chambers in Hong Kong. It acts for people against the Hong Kong government about unjust decisions the government made and adversely affected their human rights or constitutional rights. This is outright what i have always wanted to achieve as a law student - justice. And justice cannot be better done than the authority, which is more empowered, proven flawed in action.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to, through coach surfing, learn about other cultures, i am into Arts and History, which always enlighten me so much.
