Hi, my name is Leo, and I’m 38 years old. I used to work in medical device sales, but I left my job two months ago to start traveling the world.

I love reading, writing, cooking, and travel photography, and I especially enjoy meeting people from different cultures. My dream is to become a travel blogger, sharing the stories of the people, places, and experiences I encounter along the way, turning every trip into a meaningful adventure.

Besides having a background in healthcare, I’m also pretty experienced in technical analysis of stocks and forex futures trading.I’m happy to share my knowledge and tips on trading, hoping to help others avoid mistakes and improve their investments.

I’m also passionate about learning languages and have been studying English on Duolingo for over 500 days, always working on improving my skills.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a friend who traveled around the world and visited many countries. In every place he went, he connected with Couchsurfing hosts and made lots of local friends. He shared countless exciting and interesting stories from his travels with us, and it really inspired me. Now that I’m starting my own global journey, I want to meet new friends in the places I visit through Couchsurfing. It’s a great way to quickly immerse myself in the local culture while also sharing my own travel experiences and helping others learn more about different cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m a big fan of Beyond, They’re a legendary rock band from Hong Kong, known for their passionate music and lyrics that carry strong social messages. They really stand out in the Cantonese music scene. Timeless classics like Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies (Hai Kuo Tian Kong) symbolize the spirit of chasing dreams and freedom, and they continue to inspire Chinese-speaking fans all over the world.

As for movies, one of my all-time favorites is The Shawshank Redemption. I appreciate its powerful message of hope, resilience, and the human spirit. It’s a film that inspires me every time I watch it.
