About Me

CURRENT MISSION

get the most out of my stay in europe =)

ABOUT ME

oh well, where to start. i studied language and culture at uni. got interested in working with deaf people, learned sign language and became a half-intepreter/half-researcher for a few years. then i decided that i want to learn even more so i came to england to study =)

PHILOSOPHY

the road to hell is paved with good intention. i always try to do the right things for the right reason, not doing the wrong things for the right reason.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

through my friend's recommendation

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i tried to couchsurf for a few times. but none of my attempts succeed...probably because i am inexperienced and no one has even left any positive message on my profile =( well, if you are reading this please understand my situation: i do want to couchsurf but it is difficult to get started!!! hopefully i can have my first couchsurfing experience soon....

Interests

sign language, deaf culture, how to be a good ally to the deaf community, and so much more...

i love writing, i am currently writing a book about deaf people in hong kong. it will be published next year!!!

recently i got addicted to hitchhiking...been hitching all around england and met so many nice, kind people!!!

i love cooking. i can cook both chinese and western dishes. if circumstances allow i can bake bread as well!
