Overview
About Me
I'm a student from Hong Kong, currently doing a master’s degree in Human Geography in Bristol. I'm enthusiastic, friendly, helpful, considerate and thankful. I always have a curious mind to look for new things, explore interesting places and meet wonderful people. Right now I am interested in an alternative way of traveling by staying with local hosts and attempting to live a local life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I really like meeting new people from all over the world because I always discover new stories from them and gain novel and local perspectives to the understanding of different places. I also believe it is important to make friends with the locals in order to truly understand a place (at least this is what human geographers do). I am looking for people to exchange ideas and interests, also trying to help desperate and less well-off travelers especially students.

Music, Movies, and Books
Classical compositions especially those by German composers (e.g. Wagner, Brahms, Beethoven...) and some French (e.g. Debussy. Fauré...). And Chopin of course. Also into operatic and theatrical genres, musicals, and some pop.
I also like movies and dramas revolving around philosophy and humanity (e.g. Blade Runner, Inception, Schindler's List, Hayao Miyazaki's movies...) and books alike (e.g. The Pearl, Lord of the Flies...). And books with a beautiful use of language (e.g. Shakespeare, Jane Austin...).
If I ever come across your mind again, know that I have been waiting. Waiting for you to come back to me. And I will keep waiting. For a time as long as a lifetime can be.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I played in the wonderful Berlin Philharmonie Concert Hall!
Falling in love with backpacking and hitch-hiking :D
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach any of the languages I know, basics in photography, and some cooking.
I would surely like to improve my German and Spanish and to share my travel experiences with different people!
