CURRENT MISSION

to get inspired and inspire people

ABOUT ME

Hi friends! My name is Kelsey and I'm from Hong Kong, a crazily small and busy city. Currently studying Film Making in university, but I enjoy travelling when school's off. I like meeting people who are with different passions and stories - these little great things are always inspirations for writing, or you know, for life and everything. I'd like to try and experience something new when I'm on a journey.

Recently I live in Honolulu for a student exchange program. Life's so different here in Hawai'i and I wish I can become a better person by the time I leave the Aloha State. Would love to meet travelers/locals. I love the Hawaiian culture and people with Aloha spirit.

I enjoy travelling solo but it's nice to have companions, too.
I consider myself a feminist (not very hardcore one, I reckon), a vegetarian, I have completely no opinion with people eating meat though.

PHILOSOPHY
When you start loving yourself truly, good things happen, or you start noticing that they happen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love how Couchsurfing connects people. Meeting and staying with locals is the best travel plan ever.

Interests

I can be very nerdy sometimes, I really enjoy reading, writing a bit myself, watching films for sure. Currently would like to hike more.
But in most of the time, I enjoy talking with people, sharing stories or even small thoughts.

Also, politics, cultures, films, linguistics, photography, literature, fine art, gastronomy, desserts, museums and simply strolling around.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like simple but insightful stories such as The Little Prince and The Alchemist. But basically I enjoy reading most of the interesting fictional stories.

I love movies. My favourite director in modern time is David Fincher. I also love animations, love Pixar and Hayao Miyazaki - children stories are the best stories ever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surviving for 20 years without being killed in plane crashes, or intoxicated by chemicals in food or anything like that - it's easy to die in this era.

And maybe it's amazing to see the stunning Northern lights before getting 20, too.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach? I'd rather say that's sharing.
Cantonese and Mandarin - although Mandarin is not my mother tongue. Hong Kong culture, which is purely (um maybe I should say mostly) amazing.
Sharing views in life and everything with people is one of my favourite things to do.

I would like to learn basic foreign languages - languages are just interesting.

I would like to learn to play a musical instrument - despite of my love in music, I can never master an instrument. I think it would be quite a challenge to teach me, so, are you ready? :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always love cooking for my hosts! Trust me your take-away Chinese fast food isn't authentic Chinese food. Well, to be honest mine isn't either, don't blame me in that case, I'm from Hong Kong!

Travel stories - not a lot, but I think some are pretty interesting.
