About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Know About the World and To Cook in Every Place I Travel In

ABOUT ME

I am a lifelong volunteer, traveler and learner.
I have been serving for my own community since 2003...and currently we have our own team working in different projects every year so as to improve our home district.
When I am travelling, I am always learning, now I love to add a little bit of volunteering element into every trip I have.

Please pay attention on the below text:
I am sorry that currently I can not host any traveller overnight at my place.
My parents, who live with me in the same house, oppose this project sentimentally.

But I welcome anyone for a visit, a drink or a meal with me when you visit Hong Kong!

PHILOSOPHY

I treat every second of my life is one-time travel, with no return.
Repetition seems to recur in life, but only when people bustle.

Try to walk slowly and appreciate every single change of the environment.
Every single step of life can be as exciting as an adventure.
I simply love this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was invited by my friend to start my couch surfing experience for my trip to South America.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I enjoyed my great time with the friends met in Brazil and Argentina via first time Couchsurfing!
I again surfed in a host for one whole week in Lhasa, Tibet. I love to walk to the temples at night and listen to the sound of the bell.
I wish one day I can be a host welcoming the friendly guests coming from places around the world.
Before this, I have tried bringing CS friends from Poland, Taiwan, Singapore and Mainland China for hanging out in Hong Kong in the past 2 years.

The Olympics Torch was just next to me in 2008, Beijing!!!!
I finally graduated in university in 2009.
I climbed up a 12 floors tall tree in Amazon Forest with simple hooks in 2010.
I survived in acute mountain sickness in Tibet and saved my friend returning home in 2011.
