About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore differenent cultures and different parts of the world

ABOUT ME

I am a 25-year-old student from Hong Kong and I am currently studying Environmental Studies and Sustainable Science at Lund University, Sweden for two years.

I worked as a Geography high school teacher in Hong Kong before I came to Sweden to study. I really hope that I can explore more about the world by getting myself in a Western society and one of the most environmental states in the world. I am sure I will do something good to the environment no matter in Hong Kong or other places in the world.

I would describe myself as a friendly and easy-going person. I like reading, hiking, biking and having conversations with friends. I can also cook Chinese food. I have quite a lot of overseas experiences â

PHILOSOPHY

I would like to pursue a simple but happy life. In Hong Kong, many people consider wealth very important. They work days and nights in order to get a very high income. I don't think this is the meaning of life. Life can be simple, but feeling satisfied. And of course, I don't think materialistic life can make me happy in a long-term.
