About Me

I am from Hong Kong, I finished my Russian language studies in Vladivostok in Far East Russia and travelled from Vladivostok to Lisbon. I have been to Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, right until Portugal.

I worked as an English teacher before. But since I now speak fluent Russian I am trying to use it in work in some way. I am not sure if I can do it. Besides Russian I speak Japanese, Korean, and of course I speak Chinese and English. I was in Turkey last month, so I started learning Turkish. I met an Italian friend who invited to Italy, so I also started learning Italian.

I am back in Hong Kong since August 2023. My house is too small and shabby to accept guests unfortunately, but I can meet up with you and show you around the town, or I can give you tips on travel around Hong Kong.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Rather than just sightseeing on my own and talk to people on the streets, which may only be simple talks like asking for directions, staying with locals can help me really understand their cultures.
