About Me

CURRENT MISSION

survive!

ABOUT ME

I'm from Hong Kong where is so crowded and everything is easy and convenient. That is a city I grew up in but I know the world must be something more than that. That is why I love traveling a lot (and am curious about everything, almost!) After university I traveled to several places, like the States, England and Southeast Asia and worked hard for some years, now I decided to take a long vacation to be a full-time traveller, hm..before I really get my feet grounded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have several CS experience (many if Couchsurfing meeting counts). The whole idea of couchsurfing is facinating and the couchsurfers/hosts I've met are so nice and helpful. Staying with people who really live in the cities/countries is way more interesting than just sightseeing as a tourist, and it often gives me great impressions to the cities. I've learnt many local things (food, drinks, languages, live-styles etc... I like every topics) from my hosts! The idea of CS is amazing because it's a way to meet new people (which I like) and exchange cultures.

Interests

definitely traveling, meeting new people, Music, movies, playing and watching ball games, Museums visiting (both art and historical) etc.
